Do you need internet - in the middle of nowhere? Phones in a field? Video conferencing from a beach?

Our #volunteers can supply all of that, both in emergencies and to community events.

Read our case study on providing these services to #Kent

[Kent County Raynet @KentRaynet]

We're out today supporting @runmaidstone Turkey Run; best of luck to all involved.

If you have an interest in IT, telcoms or radio and you'd like to help us support community events like these, as well as emergencies please get in touch

Kent County Raynet’s volunteers use their skills and kit help the community in emergencies with radio communications, phones and IT systems. We support the emergency services, humanitarian groups, local government, and community groups.

[Kent County Raynet @KentRaynet]

Every year, we also provide safety communications for many community events such as moonlight walks or half marathons, particularly those which raise funds for other charities.

[Kent County Raynet @KentRaynet]

Our members use their own kit, skills and time freely. But we need your help so we can run training courses for new recruits, train other voluntary groups’ members, and maintain equipment to loan to community organisations.

[Kent County Raynet @KentRaynet]

We help train other voluntary groups’ members, and we encourage our members to join those groups, individually. We also help our members to help the community during emergencies in any way they can.

@KentRaynet It was hot; the ice creams had to be eaten before they melted!

[Kent County Raynet @KentRaynet]

@HRaynet @LDWA1 Thank you so much for your time and support .... Couldn't have done it without you.
