SafeGuard Clothing has increased its support that gives local students a chance to explore innovative body armour with a new donation to Darlington College. The brand’s premium bullet resistant vest will be used to better illustrate a number of educational activities relating to safety for military and law enforcement personnel.

Darlington College is grateful for this donation as it enhances the quality of its courses and provides the best learning experiences possible.
The donation will allow students to learn about the newest in safety equipment technology that is becoming increasingly common in the U.K. and its intended uses.
