BRIDGWATER Chamber of Commerce has facilitated the donation of 400 face visors to local charity Brainwave.

Chamber general manager Roger Smith was recently contacted by Socea Denys, a Tier 1 contractor at Hinkley Point C currently installing the CRF pipes that transfer the water to cool the reactors.

One of their labourers, Jake Davis, wanted to do something for the community and raised more than £600 having his head shaved on site.

With additional donations from further suppliers bringing the total raised to more than £1,500 which enabled them to purchase the visors.

Keith Sinclair, chief executive of Brainwave said; “We are delighted that Socea Denys chose to donate these visors to Brainwave. They will make a huge difference in helping us to safely reopen our centre in Bridgwater and resume supporting children.
