Coniston Mountain Rescue Team

Traditionally committee positions have been filled by active members but this adds an extra time commitment which can become a problem especially if the team are involved in a high number of rescue activities.  At Coniston, we have started to look for non-active members to take on some of the roles, with the current Honorary Secretary proving that this can work.  Interested?  Click the button below to email our Secretrary for more information.

There are always fundraising events to organise, posters to produce, tickets to sell, refreshments to be provided at events etc etc.  You might even feel inspired to pen a short article about the event (or anything else) to keep the website current and interesting to read.

It is vital to build and maintain a sound financial base for any Mountain Rescue team and Coniston is no exception.  To maintain vehicles, premises, equipment, medical and countless other supplies all costs significant money – we need to raise in excess of £20,000 every year to cover these costs to ensure that we are able to continue to provide the valuable search and rescue service we have provided for the last 70 years.

Whichever way you have decided to donate – by BACS, by cheque or by standing order then why not become a Friend of Coniston Mountain Rescue Team and enjoy the benefits of becoming a Coniston Mountain Rescue Team Friend
