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.

WEDNESDAY 9th JULY (1850hrs)
As the team were preparing for the mid week training session, we received a call from North Yorkshire Police to provide assistance to a person who had a lower limb injury and was unable to walk on high ground above Kepwick. Both Land Rovers were being prepared for the training session , thus a quick deployment was possible with other team members in their own vehicles heading to village of Kepwick.
From the village , group parties were deployed on foot to the casualty site on Atlay Bank. Following medical assessment of the injured person, he was placed in the casualty bag on the rescue stretcher and wheeled to the extraction point just outside Kepwick where an ambulance and Land Rovers were waiting. . From here the casualty was taken to hospital.
We wish the person a full and speedy recovery
18 members were involved for approx 3 hours
Well done team 👏👏
Well done to one and all
Super hero's one and all 🙏🙏😄🫡🫡🫡👍
