Alder Hey Innovation in partnership with English fine cottons developed a cloth face covering that would be one of the best in the market in terms of comfort, breathability, fit and protection. With the help of Alder Hey’s Children’s Charity and in partnership, we designed and created a practical personal mask, for the needs of the NHS.
The Alder Hey Face Cover was designed as a functional high-grade reusable cotton face cover manufactured in the UK. We were keen to support the UK manufacturing industry during these challenging times and are delighted to have partnered with English Fine Cottons and Brilliant Masks, both close to us here in the North West. Combining our expertise has been invaluable in creating a covering that looks both fashionable and comfortable while most importantly efficiently catching coughs and sneezes and helping to protect our children, families and staff from viruses including COVID-19.
Fully tested by the BSI, the face coverings have been designed to balance filtration and comfort and feature an innovative anti-viral coating tested against COVID-19.
They are available for adults and children (over 3 years old) and come in two colourful patterns. They are available now at Brilliantmasks.co.uk. Every Brilliant Mask sold will see a contribution of up to 20% made to Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust and could raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for vital research, development and innovation projects at the specialist children’s trust
