Staff at a doctor's surgery are asking the community to continue supporting them in battling coronavirus by donating much-needed equipment and protective clothing.

Castlegate and Derwent Surgery, in Cockermouth, has issued a plea for more donations of Personal Protective Equipment.

The team shared their need for PPE on social media, and said: "Please continue to share: We do still need PPE and we continue to appeal to any local businesses who may be able to donate supplies.

"These essential items will help us enormously whilst we help care for our local community."

The surgery is in need of face masks and respirators (3M FFP3 valved/respirators), disposable overalls and face visors.

They added: "If you feel you or your business can help us, please contact the surgery on 01900 705750 or email gp-a82021@nhs.net.

"Thank you for your help."
