VOLUNTEERING TO SAVE LIVES


ANY HOUR, ANY DAY, ANY WEATHER

The Mountain Rescue Team provided comfort, support and most importantly adamant
reassurance that all was going to be ok. Which it was.
Read my full story How you can help


ABOUT US




Scottish Mountain Rescue represents 25 volunteer Mountain Rescue Teams
(including two Search and Rescue Dog Associations (SARDA), Scottish Cave Rescue
Organisation and the Search And Rescue Aerial Association – Scotland (SARAA –
Scotland) with over 850 volunteers. We also represent an additional three Police
teams and one RAF team.

Scottish Mountain Rescue, founded in 1965 as The MRCofS, is the representative
and co-ordinating body for member Mountain Rescue Teams in Scotland. The
organisation, an independently registered charity is administered by a volunteer
Executive Committee, supported by three members of staff.

We facilitate the provision of a civilian mountain rescue service in Scotland
and liaise closely with the Scottish Government, Police Scotland and Fire and
Rescue Services, Royal Air Force, Royal Navy, Maritime and Coastguard Agency,
Scottish Ambulance Service, and other partner agencies involved in Land based
search and Rescue. Scottish Mountain Rescue has charitable status and is funded
largely through voluntary contributions (registered Scottish Charity – number
SC045003).

YOUR SUPPORT

Scottish Mountain Rescue is the community of 25 member Mountain Rescue Teams.
The teams deliver a world class Search and Rescue (SAR) Service and respond to
requests from Police Scotland.

Our 850 volunteers respond in a moment’s notice, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
to provide assistance to people in the outdoors. They give up their time, their
beds, abandon their work, and are often called away from their families to
assist total strangers.

At the end a fabulous day walking in the Lochearnhead area I had a slip on the
hills and realised that I was unable to walk due to an ankle injury. I really
have no idea how I would have coped without the assistance of the mountain
rescue team and would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to
all of those involved.

Belinda Norton

Whatever the circumstances of the rescue the appreciation felt by those that are
assisted by our team members and their loved ones often in very distressing
circumstances is very humbling and reinforces our determination to do the best
job we can when we’re called

It never ceases to amaze me how good rescue teams are at finding people

DONATE TO SCOTTISH MOUNTAIN RESCUE


WE COULDN’T DO WHAT WE DO WITHOUT YOUR HELP

3 in 5 rescues are funded by donations from the public including gifts in wills.
It is your support that helps Mountain Rescue Teams to be there for people in
need of rescue in the mountains and ultimately saves lives.

Our 850 volunteers respond in a moment’s notice, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
to rescue people in the outdoors. They give up their time, their beds, abandon
their work, and are often called away from their families to assist total
strangers.

The MRTs couldn’t do what they do, without our wider team of supporters, the
people in the background who provide the funding that make our work possible!

To donate to your local team follow the information on team websites. If you
donate or fundraise for Scottish Mountain Rescue and have a preference on how
your donation is spent please let us know and we will do our best to meet your
wishes.
