We accept donations of toiletries. Many people experiencing poverty are making choices about what they can afford. Electricity gets prioritised before food and shampoo.
Travel size minis are particularly useful.

We suppose this was inevitable. But it is very important to note that gold studs do not protect against #coronavirus.
Neither do luxury face shields, unless they
A.) Cover the bottom of the face (these don't)
AND
B.) Are worn with a mask
Pass it on

We all need help sometimes. If you need help, we will help you. No judgement. No cost.
If you have been thinking about extra protection, please check out our face shields. They are made in the #UK, are easy to wear, and the heavy duty plastic means they don't fog up.
Moustache not included.

Top German scientists:
1. Herd immunity not possible bc immunity too short.
2. Not feasible to go 'shield vulnerable' approach bc impossible to fully identify & isolate them.
3. Potential serious, long-term damage to young/healthy also from this virus. https://t.co/ETW50WYHAK

A face shield must be worn together with a mask. It is not a substitute for a mask.
Face shields prevent droplets from getting in the eyes.
Masks prevent aerosol from getting out.

We have grown out of Edinburgh Shield Force, and all of us were members. But we are no longer a volunteer initiative.
