To win the fight against COVID-19 we need to get the right Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the right people, right now.
Confidentials have set up this page as a centralised resource to help everyone in Greater Manchester to match up PPE needs with resources.
And we mean everyone: everyone in the media, everyone in business, everyone at home. If you want to copy and share this resource please do so. Ususal copyright, embargoes, egos and claiming a scoop can go swivel as far as this content is concerned.
As well as the NHS, there are carers, essential workers, community groups and neighbours who also need PPE. If you need something let us know. We don't want this information to be siloed.
Here's what you can do.
1. If you have a need for PPE that isn't being met, for whatever reason please email ppe@confidentials.com
2. If you have PPE that isn't being used, or you don't need, please check in on this page occasionally to see if you can help anyone. Contact them directly if possible, or email ppe@confidentials.com so we can help to find anyone that is in need.
3. Let us know when the need has been met so that we can make room for other requests.
4. Share this page and social #ppemcr to get the word out.
For businesses, if you have spare gloves, masks or anything local carers, hospitals and essential workers need then let them know. Everyone can donate to local hospital charity funds and local support programmes if you are able to do so.

If you have spare food and household items they may be invaluable to those in need in central Manchester. Mustard Tree are based in Ancoats and you can drop items off for them. Please check the link below to see what they need.
