DARTMOOR SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM (OKEHAMPTON)

The team provides personnel to support the Police as required to search for and rescue members of the public who are missing and/or injured in rural and semi-rural areas in the South West of England. The team can mount an immediate and totally self-sufficient search & rescue operation at any time of day or night with trained search managers, medics and search & rescue personnel and equipment.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

Established: 20 years
