Raising money for the Dartmoor Search & Rescue Team

If you have found my site (pewseys.co.uk) helpful, I ask for no payment but please consider a donation to my chosen charity.

The Dartmoor Search & Rescue Team based in Ashburton Devon, is a registered charity (number 1106098) completely funded by the generosity of the public providing a vital search & rescue service in Devon

Although the police have the ultimate responsibility for responding to and investigating reports of missing persons, they will often request the services of volunteer Search and Rescue organisations such as Ashburton Dartmoor Search & Rescue team to assist in such matters.

The team's responsibility covers the highland areas of Dartmoor to the fringes of the Devon coast, where the coastguard takes over. Hence their search and rescue operations can cover both rural and urban areas.

One key element about the team is that they are a voluntary organisation that relies on the valued time and effort of its team members. They also rely on kind donations from industry and the public plus fundraising activities by its members.

The team members include a wide diversity of professionals, including A&E consultants, social care workers and electronics engineers.
