SEBEV Search and Rescue is very pleased to announce the addition of 2 big name supporters, Lenser and Intersurgical.
Lenser, based in Ascot, is a byword for Search and Rescue torches amongst many SAR teams and so we were delighted when they offered to support the team with a very generous donation of torches and ongoing support through equipment discount and publicity. Many thanks to Jon and the team for their continued support.
Intersurgical are a leading supplier and manufacturer of respiratory care products, based in Wokingham and kicked off their support with a massive donation of equipment to be used by our medical team on events, along with the promise of further support throughout the year. Thanks to Maxine and all at Intersurgical.
Kris Manning, SEBEV Chairman said "SEBEV Search & Rescue relies on support from companies and members of the public, the whole team is funded purely by charitable donations. It's great that we have been able to secure the support of 2 big names within the SAR and medical communities."
SEBEV Search and Rescue is a registered UK charity comprised solely of volunteers working with Thames Valley Police to locate lost or missing vulnerable people. They are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and rely on sponsorship and donations from the public to exist and continue their valuable work.

All members of SEBEV SAR have now qualified to use Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) following a training course this week. The training and certification was provided by PreMed Healthcare.
Chairman Sam Avery said “Given SEBEV’s primary function for Search & Rescue in Berkshire and our role in providing first aid and stewarding at local events, it is essential that all our members are proficient in the use of AEDs. Almost every single member of the team is now qualified in the use of the AED and the accompanying Basic Life Support (BLS) skills. We consider this an absolute minimum requirement of all members regardless of role.”
Many of SEBEV SARs members are already qualified in a range of first aid skills from First Aid at Work through to Wilderness First Aid and beyond. The members are also actively encouraged to put that training to good use by joining their local Community First Responder schemes. |
