Team Wish List
Keeping the team properly equipped is an ongoing and expensive project not only as gear wears out or breaks but as it also reaches its expiry date. On top of this routine replacement of equipment, the team also has some specific additional equipment we would like to purchase – some big some small.
If you wish to make a donation, you may like to make it towards one of the items listed here:
Landrover Defender 4x4 specialist vehicle for immediate deployement anywhere the team could tasked , carrying 5 members of the team alongside large amounts of equipement for Swiftwater and Flood Rescue.
This vehicle would also be used secondly as a amulance should this be required. The cost of this Project is aroung £30,000
Control Van – a 4x4 panel van specially converted to be a control and communications vehicle. This would furnish the team with a self contained, up to date communications and search & rescue control facility without tying up our Land Rover ambulance. The cost of this project is around £40 000 for a vehicles, coachwork and equipment.
Lights - Powerful torch for use as a searchlight. These are compact and lightweight enough to be practical for carrying long distance over rough ground. List price is about £300 each.
On top of these wish list items we still have our other expenses such as fuel, insurance, heating and lighting and vehicle maintenance etc.
Below are some items we would like to purchase. If you are able to donate any of these items we would be most grateful. The team welcomes corporate support along with that of groups and clubs. You may choose to make a cash donation for general operational costs, or contribute towards specific items of team equipment from our current wish list – as below.

The Rescue Sled has a flat bottom, making it exceptionally stable and suitable for use in very shallow water (from only 50mm), making it perfect for help in flood rescue. The open, low stern assists with casualty recovery, and enables quick rescue of wheelchair users. Once on the sled, individuals can sit on the floor surrounded by high inflatable sides, offering a comfortable and reassuring rescue craft
