Local businesswoman donates unusual PPE to Stoke Mandeville Hospital

3 years ago

Tamsin Brewis, owner of baby swim school, Water Babies Bucks and Beds, has donated her entire inventory of swimming goggles to the hardworking doctors and nurses at Stoke Mandeville Hospital.

With resources limited, it’s no news that the NHS are desperately on the hunt for Personal Protective Equipment, however unusual! Swimming goggles are a great alternative to safety goggles, so Tamsin sent every new pair she could get her hands on to the team at the hospital.

“I actually sent our donation on to one of the parents who swims with us,” explained Tamsin. “A dad of one of our little swimmers in Aylesbury is a doctor at Stoke Mandeville, so I popped my entire inventory in the post to him. Like so many other local business owners, I’ll do anything I can to support frontline workers. I’m sure this rather unusual donation might be a little different from the norm but just as crucial. Thank you to all of the fantastic NHS staff putting themselves at risk to keep our communities safe.”

During these unprecedented times, it’s thanks to the support of local business owners that the ongoing shortage of critical equipment becomes one less thing for NHS staff to contend with. Tamsin and her team will continue to donate safety equipment as it becomes available.

About Water Babies

In a nutshell, we teach water confidence and safety skills to babies and toddlers. However, we're about so much more besides. Our classes are great for making new friends, helping to enhance the bonding process, having fun... and seeing the utter thrill of your little one gliding underwater towards you. In the last three years alone we know our lessons were directly responsible for saving the lives of ten little ones who otherwise might have tragically drowned. That makes us very proud. And we like raising money for other babies. To date, we've raised over £750,000 for Tommy's. And we're aiming to raise another £200,000 for them (possibly!) this coming summer.
