Costume makers turn their hands to protective clothing for healthcare workers

A team of Hastings-based costume makers who normally work in the performing arts have come together to make protective clothing for healthcare workers free of charge. RX Scrubs has ordered more than 1,000 metres of fabric and been working on an initial 100 sets of scrubs to fulfil orders from local GP practices, a hospice and a hospital. A fundraising drive to cover the cost of the fabric has already raised almost £5,000.
