Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team would like to extend our thanks to everyone who has supported us through donations, fundraising activities, and community events over recent months.

A huge thank you goes to Halifax Battalion Boys’ and Girls’ Brigade, who raised an impressive £278 for the Team through jumble sales, serving refreshments, and a variety of other fundraising activities. Community fundraising efforts such as these make a real difference and help us continue providing our voluntary search and rescue service across the region.

We are also extremely grateful to Norland Scarecrows, who generously donated £500 from the proceeds of their recent Scarecrow Festival. Their continued support of local charities and organisations is greatly appreciated, and we are honoured to have been selected as one of the beneficiaries.

We would also like to thank The Mayor of Hebden Royd, Steve Woodhead, for inviting Team representatives to attend his Civic Service at The Good Shepherd Church, Mytholmroyd, on 3 October. The event provided a fantastic opportunity to meet Mayors and civic leaders from across the region, share information about the work of Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team, and raise awareness of the important role our volunteers play in supporting local communities.

We are delighted that all donations received during the Civic Service will be added to the fundraising total that Steve is building for the Team. We are incredibly grateful for his support and commitment to our work.

As a volunteer-led charity, we rely heavily on the generosity of individuals, community groups, local businesses, and organisations.

From everyone at Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team: thank you for helping us continue saving lives and supporting our community.
