John Dennis, Downpatrick Lions President, said: “In just four weeks Lions Clubs throughout Ireland have donated over £80,000 to their ‘Lions Hero Shield Project’ which was set up to manufacture and supply free visors to front-line workers who are most at risk from Covid-19.
face visors for front line staff in the coronavirus epidemic.
“Downpatrick Lions Club made a contribution to the fund on behalf of the people of Down District. We would now like to reach out to front-line workers in hospitals, nursing homes, GP surgeries, paramedics, dentists, etc in our area who are in need of visors.
“If you do require them please email:
Orlaflavin@gmail.com or James@delforno.ie
“They will arrange distribution for you. The visors are free (as is delivery) – you just need to apply.
“We know the need is there and sadly will be for some time to come so we would urge our front-line heroes to get in touch so that we can help to keep them safe.”
