In Birmingham, the gowns and scrubs will be helping those at the Solihull and Heartlands hospitals.
The Birmingham Rep has also asked that "if you have any spare, clean linen that can be washed at 60° or more, and pass The REP during your daily exercise, you will be able to donate the linen at our stage door on Cambridge Street."
