Barnsley shows its love for scrubs
Barnsley College tutor Sarah White has created a group enabling the local community to help supply hospitals, hospices and GP surgeries in the region with medical scrubs and other clinical equipment. Sarah, an Art tutor and former childrenswear designer, has established
‘For the Love of Scrubs Barnsley’ which has provided hundreds of sets of equipment to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 where health and care workers are treating patients. Many volunteers are buying or using their own fabric and some
companies are kindly donating fabric and buttons. The group is also fundraising in order to be able to buy enough materials to meet demand. Volunteers can make individual appointments to visit Barnsley College’s
Old Mill Lane campus to either collect material or return finished items via the ‘For the Love of Scrubs Barnsley’ Facebook page. Alternatively, the group has localised distribution systems in Cudworth, Dodworth, Grimethorpe, Hoyland, Woolley Grange and Wombwell, for
which contact details are available on the ‘For the Love of Scrubs Barnsley’ Facebook page. In addition, Barnsley College Digital Industries Programme Manager
Jessica Lee-Henderson and Creative Industries Technician Bradley Sharp are also working in partnership with Barnsley Council, Barnsley Digital Media Centre and local businesses to produce visors for frontline staff in local hospitals, nursing homes and GP surgeries. Sarah said: “I set up the ‘For the Love of Scrubs Barnsley’ group and the
response has been fantastic. We’re really grateful for everyone’s help towards this vitally important cause.” Yiannis Koursis, Barnsley College Principal and Chief Executive, added:
“It is brilliant to see the number of initiatives, such as this one led by Sarah, offering crucial help across the Barnsley borough at this difficult time.” Anyone wishing to get involved or donate funds can do so via the ‘For the Love of Scrubs Barnsley’ Facebook page.
