Fresh from his role as one of the key players in the All Kids First initiative our Team Leader, Carl Faulkner, has been ‘wheeling and dealing’ yet again – to the continued benefit of local children.
Just in the last few days Carl secured an agreement from local company HMH Civils Limited who donated £5,000 to buy toys and games from Smyths Toys Superstores on Portrack Lane, Stockton to be given to children from across Redcar and Cleveland.
This morning, staff from their schools were at the store for a ‘trolley dash’ mass purchase. Carl was on hand together with three other Team members (Sarah, Dan and Sarah!) to help select these superb Christmas gifts that will make such a huge difference to many children in our area.
Our thanks again go to HMH Civils Limited for this huge donation and to Smyths Toys for their support. And very well done Carl!
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.

Ahead of our Santa Sleigh run around Great Ayton next Monday, Santa went AWOL last night, going for an unplanned practice run with just one of his helpers. We then received reports of a ‘sleigh crash’ on the moors just outside Great Ayton. Fortunately, we just happened to be up that way for our final training night of the year - what a coincidence!
We’re pleased to report that Santa and his helper (who obviously wasn’t much help on the night!) were soon located. Other than a few bruises here and there they were largely okay. But we took no chances and carried them to the safety of our rescue Land Rovers before they disappeared into the night. They’ll be back on Monday for the sleigh run but this time safely escorted by a crack team of Cleveland’s mountain rescue Elves!
Training last night was organised by a group of our members who are coming towards the end of their Probationary year. We were also helped by our four Prospective members as they aim to become Probationers in 2025. Good luck to both groups for ‘decision time’ when the Committee meets in January.
