A Derry rescue charity has received a donation of almost £40,000 to upgrade some of its life-saving equipment.
Foyle Search and Rescue (FSR) will upgrade its drone equipment following a £39,000 donation from supporters in the local video games industry.
The drones play a key role in the work of the local rescue team.
The donation has allowed Foyle Search and Rescue to purchase six new drones of varying cost and capabilities, alongside necessary supplementary equipment such as additional batteries.
