EHBO Lansingerland seeks free storage for event caravan

The Lansingerland First Aid Association is urgently looking for a new storage location for its event caravan, as the current site will no longer be available. The organization prefers a free location in or around Lansingerland. The caravan is used at events such as King's Day, the Avondvierdaagse, and sports competitions, and contains first aid supplies and a defibrillator. President Wilco van den Helder emphasizes that the caravan also provides shelter and privacy for treating injuries. The association, formed in 2024 from a merger of two groups, asks residents and businesses to offer a shed, warehouse, or other suitable space.
