Flowefield project making PPE
The project is facilitated by CRUN’s fantastic National Lottery funded YEAR project, which provides dynamic initiatives to empower 14-24 year olds across the Borough.
Led by youth support worker and Flowerfield tutor Charlie Smyth, youth volunteers have designed and made protective face shields, mask adaptors and other essential PPE equipment, utilising Flowerfield Arts Centre’s FABLAB 3D printing equipment.
