Cathedral Abseil

This year, the team are holding two major fund-raising events to raise money for the team, which is entirely funded by public donations.

The first event was Stroll In The Park, which was held in the grounds of Kedleston Hall in June.

The next event is the Cathedral Abseil to be held at Derby Cathedral on September 26th and 27th. Participants are invited to make a sponsored abseil from the top of the historic cathedral tower, one of the tallest in the country. Click here for further information.

What we do

We are a voluntary emergency service who attend callouts in response to requests from the Police. The team is on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

A stretcher carryOur main function is the search and rescue of injured walkers or climbers, but our role extends beyond that to other areas where our skills are of use, such as searches for vulnerable people in rural areas. The team are trained for many different types of incidents ranging from crag rescue through to searches for missing people. When a casualty is found, the team will administer first aid if required and then evacuate to a location which can be reached by the ambulance service. Often this can involve a stretcher evacuation.

Our principle area of operations extends from the southern Peak District to as far south as Milton Keynes, but we can also be called to assist teams in other areas when needed. In the past, the team has attended incidents in areas as far afield as Wales and Scotland.
