This month 24 men from MIRTH went to learn about the work of the Warwickshire Lowland Rescue team. The lowland rescue team is a group of trained volunteers who work alongside the emergency services providing support searching for missing people. Typically they will be looking for vulnerable missing people. They have been called out to assist over 70 times so far in 2024. They are equipped to search on land and also carry our searches on inland waters.
After a most informative talk we were shown some of their equipment including their mobile incident support vehicle and boats. They also use drone technology and dogs to assist in searches.
You read about their work on the website https://www.warksar.org.uk/, they are all volunteers but need support to pay the running costs of the organisation. If you want to make a donation to help their work you can click on the button below to go to their Justgiving Page.
As always on a mirth trip food was involved, we had a great lunch at the Farmer’s Fayre Restaurant on the Stoneleigh Showground.
