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 14th JUNE (0745hrs)
The team were contacted by North Yorkshire Police to assist with a search for a missing elderly person in Great Ayton area. All available members met at the base for deployment.
The first crewed Rover left as a “hasty” party to perform some rapid checks of areas close to the last known location of the person.
Not long after the second Rover left the base to their assigned area, the team were notified the person had been found. Both Rovers diverted to the find location.
On scene, it became apparent the person would require assistance to get to a safe point. The personnel held at the base were deployed to provide further assistance with the extrication. On completion of the extrication, the person was handed over to the ambulance service.
We wish the person a speedy recovery.
16 team members were involved for about 2.5 hours
My husband is a team member. Very proud xx
