The Besti Cadwaladr health board shared a post from Awyr Las - The North Wales NHS Charity which said: “Crafters, we need you!

“We’re appealing for volunteers to help sew laundry bags for our NHS staff. The bags will enable staff to take their uniform home and put them straight into their washing machine, helping to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

“The bags need to be made from a piece of material 24” x 48” that can be washed in excess of 60 degrees celsius.

“You can find the design here: https://awyrlas.org.uk/…/down…/Uniform-Bag-for-Staff-002.pdf

“If you sew and would like to get involved, please let us know you’re making them by registering as a ‘maker’ here: https://awyrlas.org.uk/covid19offersofsupport

“We can then let you know where the drop off points are or arrange for volunteers to pick them up, perhaps help you out with some materials and definitely make sure you get the thank you that you deserve for helping out your local NHS staff at this challenging time.”

Simon Baynes, MP for Clwyd South, shared a post from the Leader about an interesting new scheme.

It said: “Retailers! Your Community Needs You! The Wrexham Leader Live are teaming up with local retailers to help provide older people with a free home delivery service for essential items such as bread, milk and newspapers.

“In these challenging times it's so important for the community to pull together. This is a great campaign by the Leader and I know that residents will really appreciate local retailers offering this support to our most vulnerable neighbours.

“If you're a retailer and you're interested in taking part, you can phone to register on: 0800 6120888.”

Later, Mr Baynes shared the Leader’s list of participating retailers, which was headed by SG Newsagents in Castle Street, Llangollen.
