About Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team Ashburton

Dartmoor Search and Rescue Ashburton is a volunteer search and rescue charity, affiliated to Mountain Rescue England and Wales (MREW), who find the lost, missing injured and vulnerable, not just on Dartmoor but across Devon and to major incidents nationally. Called out by the Police, ambulance and fire service, the team responds to around 50 incidents a year. Whether its an injured walker or kayaker, a flood incident, a lost child, or missing person such as somebody with dementia, we will respond 24/7 to help those in need. Professionally trained in all areas of search and rescue including search management, advanced casualty care, swift water rescue, and rope rescue. The team trains weekly adopting the latest best practice and techniques. The charity relies almost exclusively on donations for its income, allowing it to purchases and maintain equipment, vehicles, medical supplies and rescue centre facilities. The team requires around £50,000 a year in public and business donations in order to operate. We're always looking for support to help us fundraise and operate. Get in touch if you think you can help.
