Last year was challenging for our volunteers; 58 call-outs, extra work to maintain Team readiness, Covid19 measures causing a massive impact on our kit due to wear and tear and the need for much work to be carried out on our vehicles. All this has required our fundraising to continue but in a very different way.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank every one of our supporters, our Justgiving challengers, our EShop purchasers, our monthly donation givers, our training bodies, dogs bodies, land owners, assisting organisations and sponsors for their help and support over the last 12 months. Without this our charity would not be able to continue to provide the valuable service that it does across our region.
To name just a few:
Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England, Mercedes-Benz of Teesside, Trans-K9 Dog Transit Boxes, Siccaro, Co-op, Aviva (Community Fund)
And our 2021 Calendar Sponsors!
With no government funding the team relies heavily on grant support, this year our Base Manager has worked tirelessly applying to various community foundations some of which success includes – The Charities Aid Foundation , Two Ridings Community Foundation, Middlesbrough and Teesside Philanthropic Foundation and The National Lottery Community Fund
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 50/2024
FRIDAY 15TH NOVEMBER 2024 (1801 HOURS)
Yesterday saw our 50th call-out deployment of the year. That’s in addition to 25 other incidents dealt with so far (such as casualties at safety cover events, incidents resolved by phone or where we were stood down before deploying etc).
For last night’s call-out, we were initially contacted by Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team and subsequently by North Yorkshire Police to advise us of a family in need of assistance whilst out walking on the Cleveland Way near to the Yorkshire Gliding Club. One of them was unwell and unable to continue their walk back to the carpark at White Horse bank.
Having spoken to one of family by phone to check on the casualty’s condition, we also identified their location using the mountain rescue SARCALL Phone Find system. A limited call-out of one Land Rover crew was arranged, whilst maintaining regular contact with the family. Once they had been located and assessed we transported them back to their car for their onward journey home.
Four Cleveland MRT members were involved for just under 2-hours plus return travel time back to Base. Twenty-one other members were on standby but not ultimately required.

Should have rang a taxi not the mountain rescue
Total respect!
