Our Charitable Purpose
To provide access to a variety of free to use training facilities e.g. shops, offices, factories and warehouses from which beneficiaries can conduct training exercises and practice techniques to gain meaningful experience for use in real operations relevant to the services they provide.
The more varied the facilities the better as it prevents beneficiaries from becoming too familiar with any particular one, thus ensuring a new challenge for each training session.
It is also difficult for beneficiaries to practice jointly, so where possible, the charity supports co-ordinated exercises.
Our purpose will be achieved in the following ways:
To make available varied and challenging facilities for beneficiaries to use.
To make beneficiaries aware of facilities that are available for use.
Assisting with beneficiaries’ enquiries.
Processing booking enquiries.
The Public Benefit
The public benefit is derived from the improved efficiency and effectiveness of its beneficiaries, as using the charity’s facilities will ensure they are better able to serve the public by preserving life, preventing crime, protecting property, promoting public safety.
Why is the charity needed?
Beneficiaries are chronically short of facilities to train from and of those that can be used, personnel have become too familiar for exercises performed at them to have any real or meaningful benefit.
Testimonials
“Just a quick e- mail to confirm that we used Good Hope mill for breathing apparatus search and rescue training. I would just like to say that the venue was excellent. It was exactly what we need due to the complex layout of the building. Thank you for making it available and we have again booked the facility for further training.”
“Firstly can I say thank you to all concerned for allowing us to conduct training at your venue in Liverpool. All my trainers thought this venue lends itself very well, so much so, one of my trainers deployed on an operational search the very next day, working alongside of the Police and HMRC tracked down large amounts of illicit tobacco that was ultimately seized. The success of the operation is clearly down to your generosity in allowing us to carry out continuation training in a realistic environment”.
“It was indeed a good days training. The venue for us is superb and ideally located. We are putting together a training plan based on its availability and look forward to fostering good relations with your organisation. Once again thank you for your kind offer and continued support, I will be in touch for further bookings very soon.”
“Thank you very much for the opportunity to use your venues for our training purposes. I have had a look at both sites and believe that they will be perfect to use for training.”
“Thanks for the last couple of days. Please find attached photos of the training event run by myself with my colleagues and Fire Investigation dog ‘Scrappy’, of Darlington Fire and Rescue Service. The ability to train in this sort of venue allows us to develop the dog teams stamina and search technique to ensure that all areas possible are searched in an effective, safe, systematic manner. A wide range of accessible venues is absolutely invaluable for training our search dogs.”
“I had the opportunity to attend the training venue yesterday. It was a joy to have the dog train in a live building that was new to us both. I only hope this working arrangement continues for many years as it will be an invaluable tool in our training of police dogs. This kind of training opportunity is few and far between for us as a dog section. It is hugely beneficial to dogs at all stages and abilities. Would it be in order for me to put you in touch with our firearms training department? Would it be of benefit to your organisation if I was to share your details with our North East forces at the next regional dog meeting?”
“Thanks again, without your continued support we would be struggling to maintain the dogs standards of efficiency, therefore ensuring that they remain operationally effective when we are working alongside the Police, HMRC or Trading Standards.”
