Donating motorcycle helmets to the emergency services for training?

I have an old motorcycle helmet I want to get rid of.


I heard that some bikers donate old helmets to hospitals and emergency services, so that first-aid teams can train.


Does any one know if there is any such service in the area that would accept an old helmet? I have tried contacting a few email addresses of King's College Hospital, but I have had no reply.


The helmet is still perfectly functional, no accidents, but I find it heavy and with poor ventilation - despite the pinlock, it fogs up way more than others. Understandably, there is no market for 2nd hand helmets - I would certainly never buy one.

It's some time ago now but I gave my old ones (one surplus to requirements and one that had been in a crash so had to be replaced) to St John's Ambulance in Wimbledon for training purposes, I'm sure there must be a closer branch who might be interested.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By Sue · Posted

      https://www.letslinkuk.net/ I'm interested to know why the OP didn't find this sort of scheme to work, as I would have thought it was much harder to find someone to do a direct exchange with? Does anybody else have experience of a scheme like this? Happy to be persuaded!

      I personally think is a great idea Bobbly and would love if there was a section for it. I wouldn't offer free gardening under the "for sale" section as I would expect something in exchange and wouldn't expect our cat being looked after for free under the "wanted" section, as an example.

      I have fond memories of Govinda's I used to go there  back in the 90's (maybe earlier) for an affordable tasty lunch..I was wondering if its still around. Now I have to make a point of going there. Does anyone else remember a really affordable basement cafe run by the church in a street off of Golden Square? parallel to Regent Street? I also used to love the Vegetarian cafe on Neal Street in the basement (Neal Street Cafe?) and there was an inczredible inexpensive authentic Japanese resturant I use to go to with my Japanese friends (who introduced me to it) tucked away behind Long Acre where that brown brick modern building ('modern' I think it went up in the 90's!) now stands that fronts Long Acre and Neal Street..I think it was called Asakasa or something?
