GRANT AWARDED - Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team

The 3R Foundation has awarded £500 for the purchase of 55 pairs of rope rescue gloves.
The protective gloves will be issued to team members to use when carrying stretchers, working with ropes for technical rescues, and managing safety lines when working with helicopters. The gloves will ensure that team members remain safe and protected whilst carrying out some of the more challenging rescue operations to get casualties to safety and urgent hospital care as quickly as possible.
​

​Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team support the police, ambulance and other statutory emergency services providing search & rescue, medical, flood and swiftwater rescue, technical rope rescue and severe weather support for those in need. This includes treating and rescuing injured or lost hikers and runners on the fells, mountain bikers, climbers, horse riders, as well as searching for vulnerable or high risk missing people.
​
The team is made up entirely of volunteers and who are on call 24/7 to provide support whenever it is needed. They rely entirely on grants and donations to remain operational. This includes purchasing medical equipment and lifesaving drugs, maintaining their vehicles, stretchers and rescue kit as well as ensuring team members are safely equipped to work in any conditions.

A number of the 3R team have many years experience in Search & Rescue so we always happy to help our colleagues in the SAR community.
