Technical teachers at a Scots school have made more than 100 protective masks for key workers during the lockdown.
With no kids to teach, staff at Banff Academy in Aberdeenshire turned their skills to making the much-needed equipment.
They have made more than 100 protective masks for locals working with the public amid the coronavirus pandemic.
But their efforts have been so successful they are running out of materials and have appealed to the public for donations.
There has been a struggle across the country to provide adequate protective equipment to frontline workers.
NHS nurses warned today they are unable to save lives without it.
A statement from the school today read: "Design and Technology staff at Banff Academy are putting their new facilities to good use in this difficult time by manufacturing protective face shields for local people working with the public.
"They would like to show their support and appreciation for key workers and hope the face shields offer safety and reassurance over the coming weeks. Yesterday nearly 100 masks were produced with production set to continue as demand requires.
"To continue with production, staff would be most appreciative for donations of A3 laminating pouches (min. 200 microns thick) or clear acrylic/acetate/PVC equivalents."
