Who we are
Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue works in cooperation with the police and other emergency services to relieve suffering and distress amongst persons affected by accidents or natural hazards on the North York Moors, Dalby Forest, Yorkshire Wolds, or anywhere else we are needed.
In addition to our Search and rescue duties, we take an active interest in local community events, providing talks for local organisations, training for the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme and general support for other institutions organising outdoor activities in our area.
Mission Statement
To relieve suffering and distress amongst persons affected by accidents or natural hazards on the North York Moors, or any other place if requested and in furtherance of this the team will:
- Provide adequate arrangements for the secure and efficient search and rescue of any person in difficulty in co-operation with the Police, other emergency services and mountain rescue teams.
- Train team members in the skills of moorland and mountain search and rescue, survival, casualty care and other techniques useful in this work.
- Assist other organisations in acquiring knowledge of safety techniques in wild country and cooperate with the National parks authorities in all matters of safety on the North York Moors.
