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.

CALL-OUT 46/2023
THURSDAY 30TH NOVEMBER 2023 (2115 HOURS)
We were contacted last night by North Yorkshire Police to go to the aid of four occupants of a car that had crashed in wintery conditions, approximately 9-miles east of Stokesley, midway between Kildale and Commondale. The Police anticipated some problems in reaching the scene due to the weather and road conditions, hence the request to us. We deployed two double-crewed Team Land Rovers from our Base and other Team members were put on standby in case needed.
Owing to poor mobile phone coverage in that area neither the Police nor our Call-out Officer were able to re-contact the car occupants - it is believed that one of them had originally raised the alarm by walking to higher ground. Eventually our Land Rover crews reached the accident and located the occupants who, although cold, fortunately did not need medical treatment at the scene. As they were stranded, we then transported them home, approximately 6-miles to the Lingdale area on the far side of the A171 Guisborough to Whitby road. The Police were updated and advised about recovery requirements for the damaged vehicle and about damage to a wall.
Five Team members were involved (with nine others on standby) for just over 2.25-hours by the time they returned to Base.
