Saltash Fire Cadets and teams of volunteers are taking extreme measures to raise money for the local cadet scheme based at Saltash Fire Station.

They are all taking part in THE BIG PULL of a Land Rover across the Tamar Brigade on Sunday 5th September. They will be starting on the Plymouth side and teams will be lined up to pull back over to Saltash.

“This event is kindly being sponsored by Roger Young of Land Rovers, Saltash. We have been avidly searching for sponsors or volunteers who can help us raise money for their local cadets as the running cost of the scheme is borne by each branch via fund raising and sponsorship. Much of our funds are raised through the local community and businesses with all instructors, who are both uniformed and non-uniformed members of the Brigade, giving their time freely” said Darren Berrey, Fire Cadets Co-ordinator

He cont: “Our main sponsor so far is a local mortgage advisor, Colin Worden who owns Mortgage Money. He has generously funded us for a minimum of three years with a donation of £1500. We are grateful and delighted that one person could be so generous
