CAN YOU HELP?
We are urgently seeking a new base
Berkshire Lowland Search and Rescue (BLSAR) is facing a critical challenge. Our current base is under threat due to planned redevelopment of the site. To continue supporting Thames Valley Police and saving lives across Berkshire, we urgently need a new operational base.
We’re looking for low-cost or donated space anywhere within Berkshire that can provide:
- Ideally located in central Berkshire
- Secure space for 3–4 rescue vehicles and a rescue boat
- Storage for vital rescue and medical equipment
- A training and meeting room for 40+ volunteers
- A small office or workspace
- A kitchenette or small kitchen area
Having a central, secure, and accessible base is essential for our 24/7 emergency response operations.
