Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team (BPMRT)

The 3R Foundation has awarded £730 to Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team (BPMRT) to purchase four casualty rescue harnesses.

Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team (BPMRT) is a charity entirely staffed by volunteers. The team provides search and rescue services, primarily on mountains and fells, for anyone in need, while promoting public safety. Operating 24/7, BPMRT works within Mountain Rescue (England & Wales) guidelines and in support of Lancashire Police. Their specialist skills include search and rescue planning, technical steep ground and crag rescue, night and adverse weather operations, swiftwater and flood rescue, medical treatment, stretcher evacuation, and body recovery.

The grant allowed the team to replace four casualty rescue harnesses that had reached their life expiry in August 2025, ensuring volunteers can continue to carry out their vital work safely and effectively.
