A unique new fundraising venture has been launched in Lincoln by the charity Relate to support their counselling work with children and teens, and it's got off the ground thanks to the support of GB Security.

The Re-latte café bar at 137 High Street Lincoln is now being protected round the clock with a sophisticated intruder alarm system that's been donated and fitted free of charge by Lincolnshire based GB Security Group, who have also installed other equipment at cost in Relate's adjoining offices.

GB Security director Dave Simpson said: "As a family company, with a long standing heritage in our local Lincolnshire community, this was something that really matched our ethos, and we were very happy to be able to help when Relate made the approach."

GB Security has been a longstanding contributor to the development of industry standards and the company's NSI ARC Gold remote video response centre was one of the first NSI ARCs to gain BS 8418 approval.
