Help Keep HAD Volunteers Safe While They Turn Up for Deer in Dire Need
Each Humane Animal Dispatch (HAD) volunteer needs around £304 worth of safety gear to stay protected while responding to call-outs to deer left suffering and injured on the road after a collision with a vehicle. Essential equipment these volunteers need to stay safe, particularly at night, includes jackets, vehicle protection lighting, vehicle signage and safety glasses.
Your donation—big or small—can help us equip these dedicated volunteers with the tools they need to handle roadside deer dispatches safely and efficiently. Your support will help ensure these HAD volunteers are ready to help reach deer in their most critical moments without putting themselves at risk.
Description
Can you help us keep HAD volunteers safe as they turn up for deer in dire need on the UK’s roads?
HAD volunteers require some essential equipment including jackets, vehicle protection lighting, vehicle signage and safety glasses to carry out their role safely and effectively.
In all this equipment currently costs £304 per HAD volunteer.
We are actively raising funds to assist new police-approved HAD volunteers with this critical gear that will keep them safe. By helping provide this equipment we will also help support additional cost savings for police forces, which we hope they can reinvest into local policing.
The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary (HIOWC) are working to expand their number of HAD Volunteers. To help keep these 20 or so new volunteers safe, we are looking to raise an initial amount of £6,000 towards equipment. Any additional funds raised past this target will be used to purchase the equipment for new police-approved HAD volunteers in other counties that adopt the HAD Volunteer Scheme in the future.
Every little bit can help towards providing this essential safety gear.
