The Aberdyfi Search and Rescue Team (SART) needs your help to buy new waterproof equipment. The donation-funded team battles all weathers 365 days a year, 24/7, to keep people safe in the southern Eryri mountains. However to do this they need top-notch equipment so they can take care of those that need them most.
This summer the team launched a fundraiser to raise £25,000 for much-needed replacement waterproofs. With two months left of their fundraiser, they need £12,635 to reach their target. A spokesperson said: “Imagine being lost in the mountains, injured and alone, as storm clouds gather and temperatures plummet.
“Now picture a team of rescuers battling through howling winds and driving rain to find you - that’s us...
“Your support ensures we can equip our team with the high-quality, rescue-grade waterproof jackets and trousers they need to operate comfortably in all seasons. “This gear is not just about comfort – it's about safety and effectiveness. “When we're dry, we can focus on the rescue at hand, keeping both ourselves and our casualties safe.
” In 2023 the team clocked up 1,266 hours across 53 callouts. To help buy new equipment for the team this Christmas, donate at.
