Schools across the borough are donating protective goggles to the NHS.
Dulwich College’s design and technology department has given its supply of protective goggles to a Croxted Road GP Surgery – Old Dairy Health Centre.
Dr Rosemary Leonard said more were on their way courtesy of the school’s 3D printer, and urged any other well-equipped schools to follow suit.
