The Team was established in 1965 and we currently have over 40 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 to cover the £42,000 it costs to run the Team every year.
In addition to the Search and Rescue Team Members we have an Operational Support Team with over 20 members who help with fundraising activities, acting as injured or missing people, maintaining the vehicles and equipment and a multitude of other jobs.
Tuesday 6th October 2020. We were contacted by Cleveland Police in the early hours with a request to search land surrounding Roseberry Topping for a man reportedly missing in the area. Team members were called out from home and one of our Land Rover Ambulances was deployed. Once at the RV-point our search parties, together with the Police, then commenced…
Applications can be made to join the team in a support role (Operational Support) or as a hill going (Search and Rescue) member.
Applications for either role can be made at any time. Intakes for Operational Support members occur at various times of the year. There is one annual intake for Search and Rescue normally each September.

CALL-OUT 47/2020
Sunday 18th October 2020
We were contacted at 1400 hours today by the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust with a report that a woman had fallen and injured her leg whilst walking on the Cleveland Way near to Kepwick Village.
Owing to the location, Team members were deployed via two routes - one party in a Team Land Rover Ambulance from the Osmotherley end via Square Corner with others accessing the Cleveland Way via Kepwick village. Upon reaching the casualty, Team members provided her with pain relief and splinted her right leg.
A short while later an ambulance arrived and, thanks to the relatively good condition of the track in that area, it was driven along the Cleveland Way to the scene. The casualty was then assisted into the ambulance and taken to hospital for treatment. We wish her well with her recovery.
Eleven Team members were directly involved in the incident plus one more co-ordinating our response remotely, with others en route when cancelled. The incident lasted approximately 1.5 hours plus a similar amount of time returning the Land Rover to our Base and decontaminating it and the equipment in line with our COVID-19 procedures.
