WE NEED A HOME TO CALL OUR OWN
The Project
All of the work we do has been achieved without the group having an actual “home”. For at least the past 40 years, the group has met, had their gear stored at, and conducted search operations from the Levin police station. In recent years access has become problematic as security to police stations has tightened considerably. The lack of suitable and safe parking for the volunteer’s vehicles has also become an issue. The group typically has to hire different venues for indoor training and larger meetings and functions.
