Today we remember Bob Hayward, a dedicated member of our Community Patrol from around 1996 until 2026.

Bob served as our Group Co-ordinator for many years and was a trusted leader, mentor, and friend. He generously gave his time to fundraising, supported our patrol in countless ways, and was always willing to lend a hand or offer wise advice. His dedication and kindness made a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of serving alongside him.

Thank you for your years of service, Bob. You will be greatly missed.

Rest in peace. 💙

Safety always comes first.

Whether you’re at work, on the road, or at home, protection matters for everyone in the family, even the little ones. Teaching safety early builds habits that last a lifetime.
