ShieldsUp is a volunteer driven initiative of over 500 Kiwis, 3D printing, manufacturing and distributing face shields to our medical and emergency heroes across the country facing Covid-19 head on.

Within two weeks, we have delivered over 5,000 face shields, but we are still hearing the calls of many. As the government and DHB’s publicly assure us that all necessary equipment is readily accessible, the demand for our face shields continues to grow daily, with requests for 30,000 shields.

If you would like to help us help them, sign up to volunteer at shieldsup.org.nz, or make a donation to ensure we can continue to produce and distribute our shields to protect our frontline heroes.

ShieldsUp, offering protection to Kiwi’s against COVID-19.

Just wanted to be sure that everybody's pets are included in our personal space. Very unsafe to encourage other peoples pets to play and get fed at your place. If it is not your animal, very important to send the wee darlings home. Their mums n dads will be worried about them, particularly the older more vulnerable people in the neighbourhood. Other peoples pets are not for entertainment. Stay safe everybody.
