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.

CHEQUE PRESENTATION
In late summer last year, the team were called to assist with the rescue of an individual, Elliot Metcalfe, who had an incident with a quad bike in a remote location towards the top Westerdale. Elliot had severely damage his spine and required major surgery to pin it back together.
He has made incredible progress in his rehabilitation, allowing him to run the Edinburgh Marathon at the end of May with the team his nominated charity.
Earlier this week, at The Lion Inn on Blakely Ridge a number of the team met up with Elliot and others of North York Moors Moorland Organisation (NYMMO) for a cheque presentation. As an appreciation of the work done by the team to rescue Elliot , the extremely generous amount of £4.7K was given to the team. An identical amount was also given to Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA), who also provided assistance that day.
Thank you all at NYMMO.
Wonderful generosity but well deserved.
Amazing generosity
Good work
