Mackworth, on the A52

New Base Appeal

The building is up and connected to water and power. Now we're finishing it off and fitting it out as Derby Mountain Rescue Team's new home.

Why we need it

Help us finish our new home

Our current facility is an old garage, prone to flooding, has limited space for our emergency response vehicles and equipment, no training or meeting room and no hub for gathering as a team to debrief and de-stress after sometimes quite arduous and harrowing call-outs.

The new base is built, water and three-phase power are connected, and the electrical and mechanical work is being completed. What's left is finishing it off and fitting it out, so the team can move in.

Help us finish the job

The building is up and the services are in. What's left is fitting it out, from chairs and mugs to the dishwasher. Give a specific item, or donate any amount to the fit-out.
