It's time to dust off your walking boots or running shoes and start training for this year's The Cleveland Survival. The venue is booked - a new one for the Survival and the route is just about sorted. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday 16th March 2024. For anyone who hasn't done the event before why not check…

It’s that time of year where we look back on the past 12-months! We’ve actually been a little less busy than normal, which is a good thing as it means fewer people needed our help. But we still recorded 76 calls for assistance from the police and ambulance services, resulting in 51 call-outs (in recent years the average has been…

Cleveland MRT members were helping out at the Rotary Club of Redcar Boxing Day Dip this morning. Thankfully we had no injuries to deal with but, as is traditional, we provided hot(ish) drinks to the 'dippers' - in fact, there were so many people this year we ran out of hot chocolate towards the end, so apologies if you were…

Father Christmas completed his traditional Sleigh Run around the streets of Great Ayton last night with some Elves (some of whom who looked suspiciously like Cleveland MRT members) carrying their collection buckets. They were very heavy by the end of the night (the buckets that is, not the Elves!). In fact, the people of Great Ayton and visitors to the…

Following their Roseberry Topping races this year, Hardmoors Ultra & Trail races Community Page have shared £300.80p between Cleveland MRT and our neighbours at Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team. Not only that but £477 has been given to North York Moors National Park and 179 trees will be planted in Scotland! Thanks again to Shirley, Jon and everyone involved…

Many, many thanks to everyone who donated, bought merchandise or popped by for a chat during our street collection in Northallerton today. The money has been counted and we can now reveal (ahead of tonight's 'Strictly' result!) that the grand total was £1,419 - a tremendous amount, especially consider these challenging economic times. Thanks also to the many Team members…

Many congratulations to our very own Ollie Henson for qualifying as a water training instructor at the weekend. This means he can now train our water & flood rescue members (comprised of Swift-Water Rescue Technicians [SRT] and First Responders). Ollie is pictured in the middle / back of the photo which is courtesy of Water-rescue. Well done Ollie!

Earlier this year Cleveland MRT formed an Equality, Diversity & Inclusivity group to address a number of factors ranging from how we recruit and train our people (to encourage a wider range of candidates more representative of the local community), how we interact with people outside the Team including with minority groups, routes to leadership and a whole host of…

Earlier this year we went to the aid of Nick Piper who had sustained serious back injuries whilst participating in a mountain bike event. After treating him at the scene, Team members carried him (with the assistance of other participants and event staff) to an ambulance. By October, Nick had recovered sufficiently well to undertake a personal cycling challenge to…
