The Team was established in 1965 and we normally 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 have approximately 10 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.
Friday 1st November 2024 Sixteen Team members were involved in a search for a missing man in Hartlepool. Very sadly a body was found during the search and we subsequently stood down whilst the Police continued with their enquiries. Our sincere condolences to the deceased's family and friends.
Applications can be made to join the team in a support role (Operational Support) or as a hill going (Search and Rescue) member.
Applications for either role can be made at any time. Intakes for Operational Support members occur at various times of the year. There is one annual intake for Search and Rescue normally each September.

Earlier this year, whilst we were covering the Ard Moors mountain bike event at Lordstones, members of the Centurions Walking Group stopped by to see us. They were walking a stretch of the Cleveland Way that they undertook in seven stages between March and October, to raise funds for the Team. They have recently sent us the proceeds of their fundraising - a donation totalling £340!
Many thanks to all the Centurions who participated and raised funds. It was great to see you in the summer and we hope you enjoyed the various walk days.
