Surrey Search and Rescue Volunteers Complete 1000th Mission

Surrey Search and Rescue volunteers have just completed their one thousandth mission. 

The group of 60 people became an official lowland rescue team in 2012.  This has the same status as mountain rescue teams but covers hills and lower terrain.

The organisation has to raise £55,000 each year to keep going.  Eighteen new members have been recruited in the past year, with the equipment needed for a single volunteer costing more than one thousand pounds.
