New RESPONDER CAR
We Have A New Responder Car
Thankyou to everyone that has donated to us, we have been lucky to have raised enough money to fund the purchase of a new responder vehicle.
Launched at the Bridgnorth Carnival in June 2025, the new vehicle has 4 wheel drive capability, allowing us to get to our more remote jobs with ease. Also, with a more efficient engine this will help us to save money on our fuel bill.
Thankyou to our key sponsors, find out more below.
