Derby Mountain Rescue Team urgently needs a new base. Our current ‘base’ 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.

Our new base will help us to help you – when you most need us!

The team has raised over £450K to date, purchased some land and obtained planning permission to build a purpose-built base that will meet all our needs. Work has now begun and you can follow the process on our blog or get in touch if you think you can help.
