🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️Wishing you all the very best Emma on your 5k this morning running for ENF ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bryan, who recently became our Haven Centre health and safety and maintenance officer, has been working hard getting us all up to speed with our fire safety training.

During the course of his work Bryan recognised that the addition of fire door retainers would provide us with extra protection in the event of the fire.

With that in mind he contacted Irn Security to come out to site and provide us with a price for the work. Shortly after the site visit we received a phone call to advise that the fire door retainers would be supplied and fitted free of charge!

We want to say a massive thank you to the Irn Security team for this very generous donation to our charity, we were bowled over by this amazingly kind gesture!
