Can you help?

We are seeking donations to replace the tyres on our Incident Control Vehicle (ICV). This vehicle is our primary search vehicle used to plan searches and enable deployment of the team to search for high risk vulnerable persons.

The cost of each tyre is circa £250 and we require 4.

Visit www.sussar.org.uk to donate, or contact us via email at [email protected].

Thank you!
