New crowd-funding project: Keep your distance face masks

Leukaemia Care are proposing to create these washable face masks with a clear message on the front. These face masks are designed to make you feel comfortable in social situations, while offering protection and a little bit of personality during these times.

£1 per mask would be donated to Leukaemia Care to help continue support services that have been so vital during this pandemic.

Features of these masks

Key Features:

*100% water-repellent polyester with dust-proof membrane.

*Washable & re-useable (we recommend washing at 60 degrees)

*Enhanced Qwick-Dri™ wicking technology.

*These masks do not feature a filter

*Antimicrobial layer with hypoallergenic properties.

How are these face masks secured?

These products feature head loops. To affix, place the smaller loop over the head first and move to the top of the neck. Apply second loop and place on the crown. Move mask to adjust comfort, and use adjusters to tighten or loosen the mask.

If you have a hearing aid or wear glasses, you might find this style of mask to be especially comfortable

Please note: These products are not to be used as medical PPE equipment.

How does crowdfunding work?

This is an all-or-nothing crowdfunder. This means, if they do not raise £1,000 to get this project 'off the ground', it won't go ahead. Therefore, if you pledge to support but they don't hit the target within two weeks, you will not be charged. If they do hit the £1,000 and you have pledged to support, the money will be taken and you will be supplied with the face masks (by the end of August at the latest).

When would I receive my mask/masks?

Once they hit £1,000, the initial order would be placed and they anticipate that this would take approximately three weeks to be fulfilled.

----Important----

Face coverings like these are not a replacement for medical-grade personal protective equipment (PPE). Your decision to use these face coverings is solely your own.

A mask or face covering is not a replacement for other measures that have been put in place to prevent the community spread of COVID-19 (also known as Coronavirus). Measures such as regular hand washing, social distancing and refraining from touching your face should still be adhered to.

Hi Nicole needless to say with me being technically challenged I set my page up and then made a donation which was given into me into the main Leukaemia Care page. But that's OK as long as it goes to Leukaemia Care, a brilliant project and idea.
