Buying face masks to benefit charities
Channel: Howard Lake

Volunteers from the Secret Sewing Society in Colchester are offering face masks as part of the Colchester Mask Tree initiative.

Homemade masks are offered for sale on a ‘tree’ outside participating venues. Trees can be an actual tree, a clothes airer, a hat stand or almost any item. They are usually positioned at the end of a garden. Today, due to the rain, the one I visited was just within a garage to protect it.

The masks were available for a suggested minimum donation of £2. After deducting costs of materials the surplus is being donated in Colchester to the Colchester Women's Refuge and Colchester Foodbank.
