Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team Tavistock would like to say a huge THANK YOU
Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team Tavistock would like to say a huge THANK YOU once more to each and every one of you who helped us to reach our £50,000 target for our Rescue50 Appeal. Because of your wonderful generosity, our new control vehicle is on order.
What else we need to do: We need to raise money for an additional building for our rescue centre to house our rescue vehicles, as well as vital redevelopments which need to be made to the current building to improve our facilities and help us to continue to engage with our local community. Our rescue centre appeal aims to raise £65,000 in 2022.
Why we need to do it: The additional building for our rescue centre will guarantee our viability as an effective search & rescue resource because it will be used to house all three of our rescue vehicles. One of the improvements required is to enlarge our kit drying rooms. As our remit of rescue scenarios increases, including both technical rope rescues and swift water rescues, so does the need for more equipment and the ability to dry it in appropriate spaces; this demand has increased dramatically over the last 25 years since our initial kit storage rooms were created!
Why we need your help: DSRT Tavistock receives no government funding and relies solely on donations to remain operational. Clearly, raising an additional £65,000 represents an enormous challenge, which is why we have launched the rescue centre appeal. We cannot raise this money on our own and need your help.
How can you help? There are many ways to donate, from shopping online through Amazon Smile and Easyfundraising, taking a punt with the SeaMoor Lotto, to just sending us a cheque (with Gift Aid). You can also visit dsrt-tavistock.org.uk/donate.html or you can donate straight to this appeal at justgiving.com/campaign/RescueCentreRebuild
