A huge thank you and well done to family Francis. What an amazing achievement 24hrs, each hour running a mile. They have raised £1,191 so far.

As part of our COVID-19 community support initiative, three Team members spent part of this morning transporting bulk PPE at the request of Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council. Approximately 80,000 face masks were delivered to council premises for use by their care and social services. This isn't the first time that we've been involved in such work with PPE -…

Most of the traditional fundraising activities and events planned by the Team for 2020 have been severely curtailed due to the COVID-19 restrictions and it seems very likely that such opportunities will continue to be disrupted well into 2021. We remain extremely grateful for the continuing support of the public together with local businesses and organisations for their donations. Earlier…

Please don't get caught out. Wear suitable clothing & footwear and be prepared for changing weather conditions - it's easy to…

Every three years our Team members have to requalify as Casualty Carers (level M2) through exam and scenarios. Pleased to say all 6 candidates passed their assessments today. We had to do it all slightly differently this year whilst maintaining the strict standards. Thanks to Dr Mike from Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team, Tim from Great North Air Ambulance Service and Neil…

The whole team would like the say a huge heart felt thank you. In memory of Ian 'Go Run' Gorin, his lovely Mum donated some vouchers for LETS RUN to raffle off raising a massive £500 for the team.

Today three of our volunteers - Alison, Ken and Mike were at just one of those stores, in Stokesley, to receive a…
