Euro Car Parts Southampton donates PPE to local NHS hospital

A Euro Car Parts branch in Southampton has donated personal protective equipment to the Southampton General Hospital.

More than 10 team members from the auto parts store showed their support by making a financial contribution of £5 and were able to put together a package including 1,000 pairs of gloves and 800 seat covers to help protect key workers against the spread of coronavirus.

The kind gesture was made after a frontline nurse phoned the branch asking for support with the provision of PPE.

The Euro Car Parts team acted quickly and were able to organise the donation in just one day.

William Olverson, branch manager at Euro Car Parts Southampton, said: “Everyone at the branch recognises the amazing work carried out by frontline medics, and we hope that by supporting a local hospital we are able to play a small part in helping the NHS.”
