Spreading the Word

On Friday 5th March (St Piran's Day) we took our team landy to visit the children of St Ia School in St Ives. They learned all about the work of the emergency services and were well clued up on the hazards to look out for in the great outdoors. A quick tour of the landy followed and a chance to test out the cas bag and vac splints followed by a few questions and finally a recap. Out thanks to Miss Hudson and class for looking after us.

Liskeard Police Cadets

On Wednesday 17th February, three team members and our Landy visited Liskeard Police Cadets to show them what we do as a search and rescue team. After an introduction to the world of SAR, it was time for the cadets to get hands on with some map reading, first aid and equipment familiarisation. The cadets proved to be eager students and there could well be some future team members amongst them. Our thanks to them and their PCSO instructors for making us so welcome.

Some good news for the team this week. We have received a cheque from the Woodroffe Benton Foundation for £500 for the purchase of water safety equipment. This will be used to purchase additional equipment to protect team members when working around water.

We also recieved confirmation that the Pirate Trust are to make a donation of £1000 towards the purchase of helmets for each team member. These are required for working at height or when working in or around military helicopters.

We are very grateful to both trusts for supporting our life-saving work and thank them sincerely..
