Thousands of sets of PPE on their way to help save lives in community after fundraising initiative smashes £20,000 target
A FUND set up to provide PPE for medical teams and district nursing staff has smashed its £20,000 target in just a few days. Members of Unite, GMB, and Prospect unions at Sellafield in Cumbria, who launched the community fundraising campaign, revealed their target had been hit - it had reached £20,274 by noon on Easter Sunday - and vowed to continue with a new aim of raising £30,000. A statement on the group’s GoFundMe page said: “Happy Easter everyone, we just broke £20k. We, within the trade union community at Sellafield, could not be prouder of you all. A big thank you to everyone
