Blind Misterton veteran sews for NHS
A blind Army veteran from Misterton is sewing personal laundry bags for NHS and care home staff to help contain coronavirus in the community.
Eighty-year-old Brian Bailey is putting his sewing skills to use by producing laundry bags that frontline staff can store their overalls in at the end of each shift before washing at home.
His first batch went to Blind Veterans UK’s rehabilitation centre in Brighton where 26 of his fellow blind veterans are being cared for during the crisis. The second batch has gone to Llandudno.
Brian says: “I’m delighted to offer some practical support to the charity’s carers and our NHS heroes too.”
