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.

SATURDAY 12th JULY (1245rs)
The team were requested by Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) to assist a person who had fallen when a bridge collapsed and sustained a head injury. Both Land Rovers were deployed along with other members in their own vehicles to Woodside Farm, just outside Osmotherley. This location allowed Land Rover access to the casualty site in Oak Dale.
Once with the casualty, the person was medically assessed from which it was deemed appropriate for them to be transferred back to the rendezvous point in a Land Rover. From this location, the casualty was collected by family members.
We wish the person a full and speedy recovery
Thank you to Woodside Farm for allowing the team to use the farm as a rendezvous point.
18 team members involved for approx 3 hours
Always there for us! Thanks
Thank you for being there to help.

When using own vehicles be wary of motor insurance conditions, insurers can be heartless if a claim is made and there is wriggle room to deny it.
