CVSRT conducted a coordinated search with the emergency services.

#Volunteersweek
The 1st to the 7th of June is volunteers’ week, an annual celebration of the contribution millions of people make across the UK through volunteering.
Everyone at Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team (CVSRT) commits to hundreds of hours of volunteer time per year for the team, however, we are so much more than the members you see out on the hills.
We have several supporters who regularly give up their time to support training and fundraising events, are often lay hiding in the cold wet moors acting as a training casualty and working behind the scenes to enable the team to be ready to respond when called upon.
We could not continue to operate without the fantastic support we are fortunate to receive and we thank everyone who has helped us over the years, it really does mean a lot to the team.

As a charity CVSRT receive no direct funding from the government and if you would like to donate directly to the team you can do so by visiting out Givey fundraising page - www.givey.com/caldervalleysearchandrescueteam
