CHESHIRE SEARCH AND RESCUE

The organisation will fund the running costs of Cheshire search and rescue to locate and rescue vulnerable missing people with the aim of addressing increased demand post Covid due to a significant rise in mental health issues.

We would like to be available to assist NWAS when the NHS are stretched and as such would require additional funding. A callout in Frodsham, for example was initially for the HART team (Hazardous Area Response Team, a division of NWAS) to respond to but due to them being deployed on another serious incident they were not able to respond for a couple of hours, prolonging the gentlemans vulnerability and pain. NWAS have requested help from the team on numerous occasions but we have been reluctant due to the expense of ensuring we had the correct equipment and training aids to enable us to respond in the correct manner following the gold standard protocols demanded by the emergency services. If we were able to secure additional funding we would happily declare the team as an asset to the NWAS 999 contact centre, available to be used 24 hours a day, 365 days per year, without exception.
