AWE provides PPE to help local hospitals

AWE is working with the Ministry of Defence and wider HM Government who are providing direction regarding the management of the limited stocks of PPE available nationally.

We are providing personal protective equipment (PPE) where we can, such as protective overshoes and respirator masks to local hospitals.

To help increase local 999 emergency response capacity, we are supporting South Central Ambulance Service with the loan of two of our on-site ambulances. These can be provided without impacting on the safety and security of our sites.

We have also donated £4,000 to the Hampshire Medical Fund’s ‘Dig Deep’ campaign to help buy vital life-saving equipment such as ventilators used on intensive care units in the county’s hospitals. The donation comes from AWE’s Charity Fund, which is set up to support local community causes.

Haydn Clulow, AWE’s Chief Operating Officer, said: “We are pleased to do whatever we can, in agreement with MOD, to support local NHS trusts and our amazing frontline workers during the Covid-19 crisis through PPE donations, equipment loans and donations.”
