When it comes to keeping bicycles secure on the move, Burg-Wächter UK’s heavy duty 1600 HB D-locks are ideal. Now, 15 of the sturdy and dependable bicycle security kits have been donated to the City of Hull Air Cadets through the company’s popular ‘Secure Communities Scheme’.
for the free-of-charge support that the security specialist’s Secure Communities Scheme provides. Flight Sergeant Samuel Parry, the volunteer and training officer with the City of Hull Air Cadets who applied to the scheme explains: “We are a youth organisation working with young people in and around Hull to provide opportunities for training and personal development. Many of our young people travel to us on bicycles which, due to a lack of available space, must be left in our yard during our evening sessions. Our yard is open to the street, and we have recently seen a spate of bike thefts at our and our neighbouring unit. That’s why this

donation is so much appreciated. The locks enable our young people to secure their bikes. For many of them their bicycle is their primary means of transport not only in getting to us but also to school, so this will be a big help.
“Applying for the donation was simple. I went onto the company’s
website and followed the link to its Secure Communities Scheme. Then all I had to do was to email some details to an address given there.” The 1600 HB D-lock is easy to use: insert the key provided, remove the shackle, place it around a strong immovable object, and push it back into the lock body. It is available with a standard 210mm shackle or an extra-long 280mm version for extra reach. The supplied bracket attaches easily to the bicycle frame, thereby making taking it on the move simple. It is independently tested and approved by Sold Secure; and has been awarded ‘Secured by Design’ status by the official police initiative supporting crime reduction through good product design. Burg-Wächter’s Secure Communities Scheme gives regional community leaders and volunteers the chance to win a security kit worth up to £200 for their organisation.
Any regional initiative that is run by or supports the local community can apply. Burg-Wächter launched the scheme in recognition of the fact that people around the country who are doing their bit for their community should not have to worry about the security of their premises, equipment or storage areas. company’s Secure
The Communities
Scheme is its way of saying thank you to community leaders for supporting people in their area. The type of project or organisation that the scheme is open to is very wide-ranging. It could be a scouts group; a local sports group like a cycling or football club; a school after-hours club; a hospital or healthcare community programme; a provider of events for children or pensioners; a facilitator of village activity; or a town/village charity. As long as the initiative is run by or supports the local community, and it has a specific security need Burg-Wächter would like to hear about it. Successful applicants will each receive a tailored security kit to help secure property, premises, equipment or storage areas to the value of £150 - £200 at retail price. The Secure Communities Scheme is an ongoing initiative, which has already helped over 100 regional causes through the provision of over 2,000 pieces of security equipment.
