“A picture speaks a thousand words” reality of the queues starting to form around 9:30am when we open at 12noon ..this is outside our food bank on a cold snowy morning ..😰😰

Durable washable well-fitting #masks for adults & kids: If you're involved with a #WalthamForest community project that helps people to get by and they need free masks, we can help. Maybe a #foodbank at a #school or faith organisation? wfmaskmakers.org/how-to-get-mas…. #E4 #E10 #E11 #E17

If you see this logo on a mask, the wearer is either deaf or wearing a hearing aid. Communicating may be really hard, as lipreading won't be an option, unless you're wearing a window mask. #BeKind #DeafAware #Deaf

Gorgeous new fabric donation! It'll make some beautiful masks. Thanks Wendy! Plus here's a message for our makers & fabric donors from The Limes : "You’re doing fantastic work for the community and your masks are works of art!". Lovely stuff. 😄👍

#LockdownAnniversary #DayOfReflection : thank you to all our volunteer mask makers, fabric donors & word spreaders who've helped keep people safe with cloth masks via food banks & other #WalthamForest community support projects. 😷👏 1 minute silence at 12 noon today. ❤️

We're supplying masks to St Barnabas's special vaccination clinic 30th May for local people who are homeless, refugees or migrants still awaiting settled status. If u have time to make some adult size masks in the next 2-3 weeks for the June session, pls get in touch. Thanks!

A joy to meet St Barnabas E17 volunteers to deliver 258 masks to yesterday's special vaccination popup. We sent our care guide in advance for translation & Averil quickly arranged Russian & Polish versions with more languages planned for the June session (also booked up fast!).

Thank you to our makers who have put their time, skill and empathy into making safe & comfy masks over the last several months to make sure no one is left out. Love in action.

The remarkable pop-up vaccination session organised by St Barnabas E17 for 100s of local people who are homeless, #refugees or migrants still waiting for settled status is on again & we've again made reusable masks for each vaccinee. Thanks to all our makers & fabric donors.

We're very pleased to have provided another batch of empathy & solidarity via our sewing machines to St Barnabas E17' vaccination event for people who r homeless, refugees or migrants without settled status. Thanks for organising another remarkable channeling of respect & kindness
