LOCAL residents and businesses are being encouraged to join a volunteering challenge.
Sustainable care organisation Grace Cares is appealing for people to help them breathe new life into donated equipment which will then be redistributed to those who need it.
Three hundred NHS-approved hybrid airflow mattresses have been delivered to the not-for-profit organisation’s base at Elmhurst Business Park in Lichfield.
But before they can be reused they need to be tested, prepared and covered – and Grace Cares is hoping 50 volunteers can each give one hour between 9.30am and 4pm on 1st October to ensure all of them can be repurposed.
Hannah Montgomery, co-founder of Grace Cares, said:
“What else would you be doing for an hour? Scrolling, Netflix, another meeting? This is an hour that truly changes lives.”
