WILTSHIRE Search and Rescue volunteers put their skills to the test over the weekend by carrying a stretcher and weighted mannequin over 14km of rough terrain in a bid to raise vital funds. The pandemic has hit the charity’s fundraising hard, with many events cancelled as a result. The charity helps the emergency services to find vulnerable and missing people across the county. On Saturday (April 17) teams of volunteers carried a stretcher from Barbury Castle to Avebury and beyond. All team members are tested on their ability to walk 8km/5miles, carrying their search kit, in under two hours.

A SUPERMARKET giant has confirmed it will be selling out of date food for 20p in a bid to crack down on food waste. In its plans, the Co-Op has decided to sell a variety of food products at the reduced price - all of which will be safe for consumption. Items including fruits, vegetables and even pasta will be available from the bargain price at selected stores in the south in efforts to crack down on the five million tonnes of edible food thrown away every year in the UK. The initiative is part of the chain’s ‘Reducing out Footprint’ project which launches this week and places emphasis on best before dates.
