Harrogate Scrubbers gets £5000 boost for second phase
A volunteer group in Harrogate will be able to help community healthcare workers with a £5000 bost from the Freemasons.
Harrogate Scrubbers, led by teacher Fran Taylor, is a 750 strong team which has delivered more than 2000 scrubs to the hospital.
The group is now in its second phase. They now focus on community clinical settings like doctors' surgeries, dentists, and hospices.
With a set of scrubs setting the team back by £25, the donations by the Freemasons should be able to help another 185 key workers.
