Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team

The Team was established in 1965 and we normally have around 45 to 50 Search and Rescue Team 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 Team Members we have an Operational Support Team with about 25 members who help with fundraising activities, acting as injured or missing people, maintaining the vehicles and equipment and a multitude of other jobs.
