Mackworth, on the A52

New Base Appeal

Work has begun on our parcel of land just north of Derby City Centre on the A52, in Mackworth Village – the new home of Derby Mountain Rescue Team.

Why we need it

Help us build 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 team has raised over £700K to date, and the new base structure is in place. Help us complete the project and give Derby Mountain Rescue Team the facility it deserves.
