E.R.R.C. Areal Runway Event for children during Puttinu Cares Activities

More abseiling and areal runway events are being organised by the Emergency Response and Rescue Corps. 

During the annual Dwejra Fair organised by the San Lawrenz Local Council, E.R.R.C. volunteers set up an areal runway for children. A similar Areal Runway event for children was set up in Sannat to raise funds for Puttinu Cares.

Today, an abseiling and areal runway event was organised to aroung twenty five Sixth Form students in Gozo. 

Both events were a success. Similar events will be offered in Malta and Gozo. Anyone interested in such events is welcome to contact us.
