Shaun’s volunteering mission after being furloughed

When Shaun Campbell was furloughed from his job as a roofer he decided to volunteer his time and skills by making more than 1,000 face visors from his home.

Shaun, 34, has three 3D printers which he usually uses for hobbies, such as making models and replacement parts.

But since the lockdown was imposed and he has not been able work, he has been using them to produce face visors and ear savers to protect people working on the frontline.

Shaun, who lives in Garswood, said: “With the lockdown, I thought I would do my bit to help out. I started off funding it from my own pocket. “

He has already made more than 1,000 face visors, with the machines printing constantly throughout the day. Shaun supplied 500 visors to Wigan Council for frontline workers such as carers. Others have gone to a range of organisations, including funeral directors, and have been sent around the UK. Donations can be made at www.crowdfunder.co.uk/vital-ppe-equipment-for-frontline-workers.
