Equipment we require

We are often asked if there are specific items of equipment the team needs, as many people wishing to make a donation prefer to buy an item rather than just make a non-specific donation. So we have compiled a list below. These are either items we do not yet have, replacements for worn out equipment or kit for new team members. If you would like to buy an item of equipment please contact us directly or via our donations page and let us know what you have in mind. As an independent charity, it is only with the continued generosity and support of the public that we can continue to offer our service. Thanks for you help.
