Vision donate face masks to help fight Covid among homeless community

Charitable acts in the laundry industry as the fight goes on. Lancashire-based Vision Linens, who has recently changed name from Vision Support Services, has donated 2,000 face masks to The Greater Manchester Mayor ’s Charity. This independent charity supports over 45 frontline organisations across Greater Manchester, all of whom are supporting people either experiencing, or at risk of homelessness.

Vision came across the charity’s Covid appeal asking businesses to help donate essential items to support the homeless community during this time of crisis. In seeing this, and in keeping with the company’s commitment to support programmes to improve the lives of its associates and the communities it operates in, Vision contacted the charity to offer its help.

Earlier this year, Vision and their sister company WestPoint Group, began manufacturing reusable face masks. So far, they have proudly provided and donated over a million Martex® health face masks to the US military, the US government and frontline healthcare professionals, grateful to all the frontline and essential workers for their efforts and dedication.

With over 200 years of manufacturing heritage, and skilled in providing leading hospitality and retail brands with bed, bath and table linen, they have now repurposed their factories to produce the face masks and sell to businesses and the wider public.
