Launched in June 2000 by Wear and
Tees Community Safety Department,
we have continued to support Rural
Rangers.
Rural Rangers is a unique scheme allowing
young people from rural areas, who are often
isolated and have to be independent and
resourceful, to develop their communication skills
and confidence and gain knowledge about how
to remain safe, fit and healthy within their own
environment. It not only arms them with
knowledge of how to tackle incidents that they
might be confronted with during their everyday
lives, but also raises their status as young
members of the community.
The Rural Rangers event includes:-
How to make a 999 call
Rural fire safety
Care of wildlife and domestic animals
Road safety
Safety at rivers and reservoirs
Healthy eating/disability awareness.
The Agency is very pleased to be associated with
the scheme, and has contributed substantially to
the project by assisting in the supply of T-Shirts
for all the participants. |
