Late last night (06/07/24) the Team were called out for a high risk vulnerable missing person from the Donnington Area of Newbury, supported by OxSAR and Berkshire Search and Rescue Dogs.
We are pleased to announce we now have a presence on YouTube, starting with our first promotional video, inspired by a "Leave a Light On" by Tom Walker. Please take a few moments to view the video.
Its been a busy 6 months for BLSAR, we have been involded in 37 incidents (inc assists), and 83 exercises, some in conjunction with RBFRS to fine tune our joint capabilities.
8th June, we joined White Watch Caversham Road Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service at Reading Water Fest. The Teams provided water safety top tips to the public.
Great News!! We are thrilled to share that, thanks to your incredible support, we've been chosen to receive a £1000 grant. A heartfelt thank you to the Benefact Group Movement For Good for their incredibly generous donation. This support will play a crucial role in keeping our team operational and available to respond 24/7, 365 days a year.
Annually, we actively recruit new volunteers to maintain our operational strength, ensuring a dedicated team of 80+ Search Technicians and Support Crew members. Yesterday, we participated in the Wokingham Volunteer Recruitment Fair, a significant event where we engaged with potential candidates and shared our mission and values.
It has been an eventful week for our Search and Rescue team as we responded to multiple calls for assistance in addressing the flooding situation in Berkshire.
