The Team was established in 1965 (and so we celebrate our 60th Anniversary in 2025). We have around 45 to 50 Search and Rescue members (including probationers) who are on call 24-hours a day every day of the year. We are all volunteers; we have no paid staff and our services are offered free to anyone who needs them. We are reliant on the generosity of local people and groups plus other organisations to cover the £42,000 on average it costs to run the Team every year.
In addition to the Search and Rescue members we aim to have around 10 to 12 Support members who help with fundraising activities, acting as injured or missing people, maintaining the vehicles and equipment and a multitude of other jobs. If you would like to make a donation, or raise funds to help us, please check out our fundraising page here.

MIDWEEK TRAINING
On a cold, windy and misty Wednesday night, the team were involved in a medical carousel at Lordstones Country Park .
Six different medical scenarios with all requiring C-spine immobilisation were tackled by each group. The scenarios were treated as we would in a real casualty situation with each member in the group undertaking one of the specific roles of, party leader, medic, navigator or general helper at the site. Due to the weather, group shelters were utilised . Members of the support team acted as the casualties and there were medical assessors to review/support the medical care provided.
The off road driver training continued this week on both Wednesday and Thursday evenings in Bank Foot area.
