                                                   line nursing teams in Southend and Castle Point as part of a new £30,000
                                              ECovid-19 campaign aimed at providing essential equipment for local hospital
                                              and care home staff.
                                              Some 400 care homes across the County, local hospitals and front line community
                                              nursing teams received packs of visors on Friday (April24th) with further deliveries
                                              planned over the next two weeks.

                                              at the Thundersley Clinic said: “We are part of a network of some 200 community
                                              nurses across the Southend and Castle Point areas dealing with patients at home,
                                              some of whom have been discharged from hospital with Covid-19.”


                                              “Each  nurse  is  seeing  around  five
                                              patients a day so the visors are very
                                              welcome and I want to thank Essex

       Essex Freemasons initially agreed a £20,000 grant via the Essex Freemasons Community
       Fund to purchase thousands of vitally needed PPE visors, but another £10,000 has been
       added to purchase equally urgently needed hand sanitiser for all front line staff.
       A further £100,000 has been allocated to Freemasons in the East region by the Masonic
