We would like to say an enormous thank you to Islip Working Mens Club for their generous donation of £685 to the team through a socially-distanced bingo evening and, earlier in the year, a quiz night.
It's been an exceptionally busy year for our #volunteers, but sadly most of our fundraising events have had to be cancelled so this really makes a huge difference to us - thank you!

Yesterday we held a socially-distanced training day for our #volunteers to ensure they’re ready for the winter weather. Sessions included trailer-towing and manoeuvring, off-road driving, traction assistance and how to stay #covidsafe when on deployment. Thank you to our hosts @avalanche_antics for the use of their site.

As we head in to the darker evenings, make sure your lights are clean and working properly. It's important to both see and been seen. Get someone to help you check your brake lights. Carry spares so you can replace a blown bulb if necessary.

When checking your car's tyre pressures, don't forget to check the spare if you have one. Find out how the jack works and where to position it, so that if you need it you're not trying to do it for the first time in the dark on a wet night.

Most cars have screw-in towing eyes, which fit via a removable panel in the bumper. Check where you towing eye is kept, and where it screws-in. They're usually in the boot or glovebox.
Keep it somewhere safe in the car in case it's needed.

If your car has locking wheel nuts, make sure you know where the key is. They're usually kept in the boot or glovebox, and you'll need it to replace a tyre or if you get a puncture.
Keep it somewhere safe - but not at home!

Your tyres have a hard life, so check them regularly for damage.
Look for cuts or bulges in the sidewall and replace the tyre straightaway. Damaged tyres can fail without warning, possibly causing you to lose control and leaving you stranded

As your tyres wear, they become less effective at gripping on wet roads. The minimum tread for a car or motorbike is 1.6mm; about the same as the border on a 20p coin.
If your tyres are tired, now's the time to replace them before winter.

Checking your tyre pressures doesn't just keep you

Checking your tyre pressures doesn't just keep your safe, it saves you money with less tyre wear and better fuel economy.
Check them when they're cold, before you start your journey.

If your vehicle developed a fault, would you know what to do to stay safe? Waiting in your car is dangerous in case it gets hit by another vehicle: get out, stand behind the barrier & phone for help.

⚠️ Don't stand in front of your car.
