Scottish Mountain Rescue
- Membership number 4377
- Charity registered in Scotland SC045003
Scottish Mountain Rescue represents 33 rescue teams, 27 of these are voluntary civilian teams including 2 dog teams and 1 cave rescue team. Currently there are 2 RAF Teams and 3 Police Teams also involved. We offer a world class, voluntary rescue service that is available any hour, any day and in any weather and primarily focused on those in difficulty within wilderness areas. In addition many of our teams, which includes approximately 100 volunteers, support local community resilience in times of severe weather or major civil incident. We are deployed under the authority of the Police. We receive a Scottish Government Grant each year as a contribution to team running costs and this will meet 20-40% of individual team expenses. St John Scotland has been a key support with financial grants towards vehicles and bases over the last decade. All other funds are charitable.
