A further 5,000 masks will be distributed among parishes and shelters, going to the most needy in the community.

All the masks distributed are washable, and can be reused up to 30 times.

The latest initiative falls under the club’s ASSIEME (‘Together’) campaign, which was launched in April and comprises all of the initiatives introduced and run by Roma Cares in the last few months.

The distribution of protective equipment will continue over the coming days in other parts of the city, along with further church communities and shelters.

In total 9,000 masks will be distributed to the public, on top of the 32,000 that are being given to key workers – including police officers, public transport officials and government staff - in the city.

In total, 41,000 masks, 4000 bottles of sanitising gel and 8,000 latex gloves will be distributed.
