A rescue service who provide invaluable help to the borough’s wildlife have recently welcome some brand new equipment to help them on their missions.
Cleethorpes Wildlife Rescue recently purchased a brand-new incident response trailer, designed to carry a range of vital equipment for their water rescues and those that include animals in hard-to-reach locations.
The £3,000 trailer was funded by Ørsted, who also supported the group with a grant last year which helped to upgrade their PPE, training, and water rescue equipment.
As one of the few wildlife rescues in the UK equipped to carry out water rescues, the trailer will prove to be a “vital asset” for the team.
In a statement online, a spokesperson for the rescue said: “A huge thank you to Ørsted for their continued support, and to Apache Trailers for custom-building our trailer to our exact specifications – in just four weeks!”
A spokesperson for Ørsted added: “It’s a pleasure to support Cleethorpes Wildlife Rescue with all the incredibly work they do in the area. Thank you to the volunteers who go to call-outs and give much-needed care for our local wildlife.”
