How we are funded
We are a registered charity that relies on donations, and it costs around £50,000 a year to keep the team running.
We are a registered charity, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), and we are totally reliant on donations. The Lake District Search and Mountain Rescue Association (LDSAMRA) provides some grants, but the majority of our income comes from our own fundraising and from donations.
Some of our equipment, in particular medical and technical rescue equipment, has a short life because it must be absolutely reliable. Added to the cost of maintaining and replacing three vehicles, this means we need a steady inflow of funds.
Our annual running cost is around £50,000, including money put aside towards future replacement vehicles. You can donate online or become one of our supporters.
