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 20 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.

CALL-OUT 44/2022
MONDAY 8TH AUGUST 2022 (1309 HOURS)
The Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust contacted the Team regarding a woman who had fallen and sustained a lower leg injury whilst walking near to the old shooting lodge below Roseberry Topping. Team members were alerted and headed to an RV-point at a nearby farm whilst others went to our Base to collect the rescue Land Rovers.
However, just over 10-minutes later we managed to make contact with the casualty by phone - some friends had helped her down the paths and they were intending to transport her to hospital. One of our Land Rover crews met her at Newton carpark (below Roseberry Topping) where they administered pain relief and splinted her ankle before her friends took her to hospital for further checks and treatment.
All other Team members were stood-down and were able to return to work and homes etc. In addition to the three members who deployed to the carpark another 12 were en route when stood down by our call-out officer. The call-out lasted less than 3/4 hour.
