Polmont company help frontline NHS staff

Power a Life’s director of impact, Paul Rafferty, sourced the powerbanks, and his dad – Glasgow taxi driver James Rafferty - took them to Glasgow.

Paul’s mum Tracy, a pharmacy technician at the Royal Infirmary, ensured all 57 devices went directly to NHS colleagues.

Paul said: “It was a no-brainer to help and we were glad to be able to so quickly.

“My mum checked with her colleagues, who said they would be a massive help in the current circumstances, so we quickly arranged to get them there within the day, with the help of a clean Glasgow taxi.”

Power a Life founder Jeremie Warner added: “So many people have stepped up to help in these unprecedented times and while we are a small company we recognised this was someone we could do to help in our own way.

“Corporate social responsibility has always been the heartbeat of our organisation, and this is a very natural extension of that.

“We thank all NHS staff sincerely and wish them well in the weeks ahead.”
