As a Swindon Charity, who make adapted clothing for individuals of all age groups when mobility impairments restrict their ability to put on or remove items of clothing, due to COVID 19, were faced with the fact we couldn’t provide this service to our clients who for the most, were at the high risk category, so decided to turn our skills to helping key workers in and around the Swindon area.

We are delighted to anounce we have, to date, made and delivered 2000 PPE items for doctors, nurses and key workers who have needed our help, including Prospect Hospice, Great Western Hospital, Swindon Night Shelter, Swindon Women’s Aid Centre, Care Homes and Doctor’s Surgeries.

In total, 1773 masks, 35 sleeves & aprons, 180 scrub bags, 64 full length moisture proof gowns and 52 headbands. 

We are continuing with this much needed PPE until such times as we can continue with the core services of our Charity.

We rely entirely on funding and the kind donations of ‘friends of Dressability,’ so please support us and give generously, so we can help others.           

Thank you.

Robert has personally thanked everyone at Dressability on his social media pages and will be including the following in his Adver column next week.

“Dressability is a fantastic local charity formed here in my constituency of South Swindon in 1998. It is one of only two independent clothing services in the UK, which caters specifically for the needs of disabled people.

“Over the past twenty-two years, Dressability has been working hard with other local voluntary organisations, disability support groups, social workers and healthcare professionals to provide clothing for people with physical disabilities, learning difficulties and the elderly.
