NORTH East Wales Search and Rescue (NEWSAR) has donated one of its vans to help a charity. 

The search and rescue team gifted one of their Ford Transit high-top vans, 'old mobile 3' to the SIRENS (Supporting International Response and Emergency Services) charity.

SIRENS is a local charity that provides ambulance and emergency vehicles to war zones and areas in need.

The next few months will see the vehicle renovated before making its way to Ukraine to act as an ambulance or a mobile surgery vehicle. 

A spokesperson for NEWSAR posted on social media: "We couldn't pass this vehicle to SIRENS without the generous donations to NEWSAR from the public of North East Wales which have enabled us to replace the old Transit with a four wheel drive man van."

"This is currently being commissioned with up to date radios, computers and welfare services. The new, state of the art, control vehicle will provide multi agency communications at events such as flooding, missing person searches and other rescues.

"Thank you to all who donated to NEWSAR for the new vehicle and good luck to SIRENS for their life saving work overseas."
