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.

Both Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) and North Yorkshire Police (NYP) contacted the team about an injured off road biker who had sustained injuries near to Bloworth Crossing. YAS informed the team that Helimed were en route.The team deployed both Land Rovers ,along with other team members to Bank Foot Farm.
As team members were arriving at Bank Foot, the team were informed that the casualty had been loaded into the air ambulance and was being transferred to hospital.
You may be wondering why the team were dispatched when they knew Helimed was en route. The team still deploys as there is the possibility Helimed could be re assigned, the casualty’s injuries do not require air transfer and conditions/terrain may not be suitable for landing in the vicinity of the casualty site.
We wish the casualty a speedy recovery
16 team members were involved for up to 2 hours
