Our volunteers train several times every month to keep skills sharp ready for call outs. And what’s more fun than playing with stretchers and hanging round a crag on a Tuesday night anyway!?

Thanks also to Glencoe MRT who met us for a chat and a look around their base.

We look forward to sharing progress on the base build with you. Thank you all for your support and please do keep sharing our appeals, as we will need to keep fundraising to get the permanent base finished and kitted out.

As well as our routine fundraising we’ve been working towards finding money for our permanent base, so we can move out of the two unheated industrial units that we currently rent. We are now at the stage where, with the offer of a bridging loan should we need it, we can start the build in 2025.

Our volunteers, along with some of our trustees and supporters, have also taken part in many fundraising activities. We need to raise around £50000 a year for running costs and contribution towards eventual replacement of team vehicles.

As well as our call outs we have undergone a full calendar of training including updating our knowledge of casualty care, first aid, crag rescue, vehicle training, working with helicopters, equipment, and for some team members, swift water rescue training.

And who knows, maybe next time we are zipped up to our eyeballs carrying a stretcher through a howling storm we might even recognise each other 😀
