LIFESAVING equipment has been donated to a Winnersh-based search and rescue charity by a Bracknell-based technology firm.
Redwood Technologies Group is supporting Berkshire Lowland Search and Rescue (BLSAR), the primary search and rescue resource for Thames Valley Police in Berkshire.
The highly-trained volunteers use specialist skills to search for high risk vulnerable missing persons.
The donation will enable the purchase of a number of specialist, lightweight defibrillators.
Sean Taylor, CEO at Redwood Technologies Group, said: “Although we are a global company we ensure that each of our offices around the world support the local communities where they are located. 4
“In the UK we are proud to have been established in Berkshire for nearly 30 years and delighted to have assisted tens of local voluntary groups and charities over that time.
“BLSAR carries out mission-critical work for the Thames Valley Police and as a charity depends heavily on contributions like ours.
“We are very proud to be able to support the valuable activities that BLSAR undertake.”
And Paul Chapman, a trustee at Berkshire Lowland Search and Rescue, wanted to thank Redwood Technologies Group for its support.
“We rely on donations such as those from businesses in the Berkshire area to continue our work for the Thames Valley Police, and would like to encourage others to consider donating to or volunteering alongside us.”
