According to Express & Star, Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) has donated several thousand pounds to MG Sportswear in an effort to support the United Kingdom’s National Health Service during the coronavirus pandemic. The donation was made after MG launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for materials that they are using to make scrubs for health workers.
Business manager Kim Calder commented:
“We have just received a generous donation from Robert Plant that ensures we can continue to get fabric but with some of our workers needing to self-isolate and just to be able to get the garments out quickly we could do with local stitchers services, if possible. Other people making scrubs locally seem to be struggling with getting the patterns and cutting the garments but that is something we are able to do on mass. However, stitching the garments or even a section of the garment would be a massive help.”
Plant added:
“We’re all in our own vacuums within our own homes feeling relatively safe, so I’m pleased to be able to support the work that these good people are doing for our frontline nurses, doctors, carers etc. in providing much-needed scrubs and masks. It would be great for them to get more support and funds ensuring they can carry on making what is needed.”
