About the team

Kinder Mountain Rescue Team (KMRT) (https://kmrt.org.uk) was established in 1971. Our base is in Hayfield in the High Peak and we operate mostly within the UK Peak District National Park and in the rural and urban areas of north Derbyshire, Macclesfield and Stockport. We also support wider local and national emergency response as required.

What we do

The team’s primary objective is to support the community 24/7/365 providing specialist search and rescue at the request of the emergency services, including:

Search of all terrains, urban and rural, for injured, lost or missing vulnerable people.
Provision of first on scene casualty care, to protect life and to prevent any deterioration for the casualty, including the packaging and extraction of the casualty through to handover to ambulance services.
Assisting water rescues (rivers, lakes, reservoirs and floods), response to bad weather (e.g. traffic and ambulance assistance in snow) and multi-agency major incident emergency responses (e.g. the partial collapse of the Whaley Bridge reservoir dam wall in 2019 and moorland fires).

Emergency services we work with

KMRT is one of seven teams within the Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation (PDMRO) under the umbrella of Mountain Rescue England and Wales (MREW).

We primarily work with the Derbyshire Constabulary but are also called to assist Greater Manchester Police, East Midlands Ambulance Service and North West Ambulance Service. This means we work frequently with several Air Ambulance Organisations including UK Search and Rescue as part HM Coastguard as well as Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance.

Fundraising

KMRT receives no funding from central or local government and so we rely entirely on fundraising activities, donations and grants. It costs approximately £40,000 a year to run the team on top of which we have to fund significant projects, for example the purchase of our base, new and replacement vehicles and equipment.

Over the last four years we have been very grateful for the support and grants from a number of organisations: B&M Community Fund (major contribution to a new Landrover Defender ambulance), the National Lottery (digital radios), Tesco Bags of Help (trailer for our water rescue equipment), the People’s Postcode Lottery (hill party kit), Co-op Community Fund (additional road vehicle), Arm Corporation (new stretcher), Arnold Clark (replacement rucksacks for team kit), Thomson Reuters Community Fund (contribution to new Landrover Defender ambulance), Waitrose (running expenses), High Peak Borough Council Councillors Initiative (water team helmets and hill party rucksacks) and Covid small business discretionary grant (running expenses).

We are also very grateful to each and every one of our numerous supporters who have undertaken incredible missions and projects to raise money for the team. There are too many to mention every peaks (Snowdon, Scafell and Ben Nevis) and biking between each (67.5 hours), Adam Stanway’s 120 mile Tryfyn fundraiser, the family of Amy Hall, Luke Cook’s 24 hour Kinder litter pick, three team members completing the Fan Dance the gruelling SAS selection test march route, three runners in one, but these include Cass Studdard beating the women’s record by 20 hours for scaling the three the Brighton Marathon, fish recipe book, Millers Refillers, Peep O’Day parking, SK6 Spinners, and the exhibition and sales of Dan Sell’s photos.

To help our community and raise additional funds we assist at various community events such as:

Marshalling and/or providing first aid at fell runs (e.g. Kinder Downfall, Kinder Trog, Mount Famine Race) and long-distance walks (e.g. Baslow Boot Bash and the White Peak Walk);
We arrange our own annual fell race (Cracken Edge);
We help with the organisation and running of Hayfield Open Gardens;
We help at and attend various local events such as New Mills lantern parade, New Mills fireworks, Hayfield May Queen, Hayfield Apple Day
Helping with the organisation, spreading awareness and running of the annual St Ann’s Hospice Christmas tree collection, including collecting the trees for chipping and recycling, which in January 2022 raised over £42,000 for St Ann’s Hospice.

We are also very grateful for the very generous legacies that we have received and for families and friends who have made donations to KMRT at funerals or in memory of a loved person.

The community we are here to help

Our base is in Hayfield, a large village at the foot of Kinder Scout in the Peak District, but our operational area covers not just Kinder Scout but a wider area including urban locations. The below map shows our operational area and the location of our callouts over the last 10 years:

A lot of people live close to and visit our patch. The Peak District is the most visited and most accessible National Park in the UK, close to the cities of Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham and Derby. An estimated 20 million people live within an hour’s drive of the Peak District and more than 13 million people visit the Peak District National Park each year (https://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/learning-about/news/70-years-of-the-peak-district-nationalpark/peak-district-facts).

Particularly since lockdown, people flock to Hayfield every weekend, whatever the weather, to enjoy Kinder Scout and its foothills. Our ‘patch’ covers the Kinder plateau which includes a popular part of the Pennine Way, numerous Instagram advertised attractions such as Kinder Downfall (as a waterfall and for its renowned icicles for winter climbing), air crash sites (at least 6 sites on our patch with memorials or wreckage), it is the location for Duke of Edinburgh excursions, numerous fell runs and long-distance walks, and is very popular with mountain bikers.

Our interaction with the community

We work with and support our local community wherever we can.

The Team regularly attends schools, and local groups, such as Scouts, WI, U3A, and sports clubs, to promote the work of the team and discuss safety in the mountain and to give basic first aid training, particularly in CPR and defibrillators.
We support and assist at various community events (see fundraising above).
We provide help in bad weather including supporting the police when people are stuck in the snow, transporting people when a road ambulance cannot reach them, and we took some people to their Covid injections when the weather was bad.

We are also grateful for the support of a number of organisations who provide KMRT or team members with highly discounted or free goods and services or give us priority. There are too many to mention every one, but these include Michelmores Solicitors, Marstons Brewery, Pete Bland for fell race numbers, Naughty Dog printers in Disley, Hallam’s garage in Hayfield, Cotswold, Alpkit, Outdoor Active, and numerous businesses and pubs who have our collection boxes.

Sustainability

As an outdoor organisation we are acutely aware of the challenges presented by climate change. In line with the Charity Commission’s guidance, we are integrating sustainability into the operation and management of the team. We have a published sustainability policy which focusses on four key areas:

Have sustainability at the heart of everything we do
Aim for net zero carbon emissions as an organisation
Sustainable purchasing
Reduce, reuse, repair, recycle

We are at the beginning of this journey and there are many challenges ahead. Some key achievements so far have been:

The generation of a sustainability group and a sustainability policy
Writing sustainability into all officers’ job descriptions to ensure that it is considered at all decision points
Increased re-use and recycling of equipment. Avoidance of acquiring new kit unless there is a need – even if the kit is free
Change of electricity supplier to a 100% renewable supply

Message from the Chair

2021 was another challenging and busy year as we continued to work under Covid restrictions (affecting operations, training and meetings) whilst more people took ‘staycations’ resulting in higher levels of activity in the outdoors. This is reflected in the number of callouts (43) albeit this was lower than the 56 in 2020 which was exacerbated by the volume of people who could only exercise in the local area initially then within the UK later in the year.

We started 2021 by finalising the purchase of our team base from Marstons brewery after renting the space from them for many years. This has secured our future by having a secure and permanent base. We are very grateful to Marstons for agreeing a reasonable price given the length of the relationship we have had, which enables us to allocate hard earned funds to other significant projects.

We also continued our relationship with Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service (DFRS), renting a unit at the fire station in New Mills which they also share with East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS). This gives us invaluable storage for water rescue equipment and vehicles that we could not fit in the space we have in Hayfield. As the Fire Service plan to develop 3 of their local stations, we aim to work in conjunction with EMAS and DFRS to secure space for the future.

We invested in repairs to the outside of the building in Hayfield which were overdue, and in the next year we will look at updating the inside of the base which was last refreshed over 10 years ago.

This year we also launched our vehicle fund to raise money to replace our oldest Landrover Defender ambulance. One of our 2021 callouts involved rescuing an employee of B&M and we are most grateful to her for recommending we apply for their community scheme, which boosted the fund with a very generous donation of £20,000.

Whilst still curtailed we managed to re-introduce some face to face meetings in 2021 and hope to get back to ‘business as usual’ in 2022.

Without the generosity of the public every year, and those people and organisations who value our work, we would struggle to finance the ongoing needs of the team, we would be unable to keep up with developments in techniques, equipment, and be unable to meet the expectations of the people we rescue. On behalf of the Team Members and the people we have to rescue in the future I would like to say thank you to everyone who has given us a donation of any size.

We would also like to thank our neighbouring Mountain Rescue teams who respond when we need extra personnel to assist with search and recovery, particularly including the Teams at Glossop, Buxton and Edale. For our members to respond to callouts we rely on the continued support of their employers. Thank you once again for granting this time and adapting your business to the inconvenience this can create. Finally, thanks to the families of the Team Members who are probably the greatest to suffer inconvenience, not only the time for training, meetings and call outs, managing to deal with wet and muddy kit, as well as the call out alerts going off in the night, during dinner and on birthdays.

Alison Aldridge, Chair

Operational update

2021 has been another challenging year for the team due to the ongoing impact of Covid-19 and how that has caused us to modify how we respond to callouts in order to keep team members, their families and the casualties safe. It has also meant that much of our training throughout the year was online to ensure we kept ourselves safe.

The following infographics provide some interesting details of the callouts we have had in 2021. It has been a fairly typical year in terms of the number of callouts, with 43 being around the average number we would expect for a normal year. However, the number doesn’t necessarily reflect the challenging year 2021 turned to be, with some exceptionally difficult and emotionally draining jobs for the team.

The team’s principal response area covers the western and southern areas of Kinder Scout, which is the highest point in the Peak District National Park and therefore attracts many walkers on a daily basis. This is one of the busiest National Parks in the country, mainly due to its proximity and ease of access from both the Manchester and Sheffield areas.

Kinder Scout is a large area which is notoriously difficult to navigate in poor conditions. Visitors are regularly caught out by the severity of the conditions and the featureless nature of higher areas.

Almost half of our callouts are split evenly between lost / benighted walkers and lower leg injuries, which reflects the terrain the team covers.

The team also deal with a range of requests for our assistance including attending flooding incidents and searches for missing vulnerable people.

In 2021 the Team was made up of 51 members:

Hill members	38
Probationarymembers	7
Operation support & drivers	6

Many team members take on additional roles which require extra hours of training:

- Swift Water Rescue Technicians (DEFRA MOD3)	9
- Water First Responder (DEFRA MOD2)	5
- Water Incident Manager (DEFRA MOD5)	1
MREW CasualtyCareQualification	22
Rope Rescue Instructors	2

Many team members committed significantly more time than this for no financial reward, often in addition to their full time paid employment and family commitments.

Our training programme is key to being a successful mountain rescue team, so we are also ready to respond to a request for help in a search and rescue operation.

All team members are expected to attend a high percentage of our standard training which covers casualty care and mountain rescue skills every month, supplemented by weekend exercises where we put this into practice and carry out exercises covering subjects such as rope rescue incidents, missing walkers on Kinder Scout, high risk missing vulnerable person searches and the like.

In addition to this standard training we must also carry out specialist training depending on our own individual specialist areas such as working with helicopters, off road driving skills, water rescue skills, search management planning skills, IT skills, leadership skills and much more.

The Team Leader is supported by two very capable deputy team leaders and six assistant team leaders, all of whom are skilled and trained to a level where they can take a request for help and run a callout from start to finish. The team is fortunate to have such a group of dedicated leaders.

The other aspect of our operational work are the meetings and liaisons groups with colleagues in other mountain rescue teams in both the Peak District and the Greater Manchester areas. The work that quietly goes on in the background with the statutory services ensures that we have exceptionally good working relationships with a vast array of partners including Derbyshire Police, Greater Manchester Police, Cheshire Police, East Midlands Ambulance service, North West Ambulance Service, Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service, Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service, HM Coastguard Rescue and various Air Ambulance charities.

My thanks go to every team member, their families, their employers and every single person who supports us in the work that we do. Without you all supporting us, we could not respond to requests for help from those who need our help within our local communities or all those who visit our area. Thank you.

Neil Woodhead, Team Leader

Financial summary

The team has had another successful financial year, though again fundraising has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Income for the year was £85,804 (£17,605 more than last year) and expenditure was £43,990. So, we have received a net cash income of more than £40,000 over the year. The balance of funds at the end of the year was £264,408. Taking into account the £46,681 in our reserved vehicle fund, this means we retain £117,727 over our reserve of £100,000, which ensures we retain sufficient funds to cover one year’s running costs and any uninsured events that would severely impact our operational capability.

We have policies in place for Financial Controls and Financial Governance. These are reviewed annually to ensure the trustees meet their obligations for responsible management of KMRT’s financial resources and that KMRT finances are managed in accordance with UK regulations governing charities and companies. We have buildings and contents insurance in place which also includes off-site cover for the more costly equipment under an all-risks schedule.

Of course, COVID-19 has continued to have an impact on all our activities. Financially it has meant that many of our normal fundraising events again could not take place, although most of the locations holding our collection boxes were able to open during the year.

That we have had a good financial year is once again primarily due to the continuing efforts of the fundraising team, Pete and Amanda, who have successfully chased a number of lucrative sources of grants and funding, and to all members the team and our wonderful supporters who have rallied round and supported us through a number of imaginative fundraising activities. In the past year we have focussed specifically on raising funds for a replacement vehicle and, as noted above, this fund has now reached £46,681.

Individual items of expenditure have been detailed in the treasurer’s monthly reports to team. In terms of the major categories of expenditure: £6,388.98 has been spent on professional costs (the bulk of this to Gateley Legal for legal advice and investigation costs); £4,704 on training (most of this for 4 x 4 driver training and swift water rescue courses); £3,695 . 31 on equipment; £3,361.64 on communications; £3,301 on premises; £2,799 on rescue vehicles; £2,243.40 on fundraising (primarily purchase for wraps for onward sale to supporters) £1,780.15 on insurance, and £1,586.88 on medical supplies.

Major funding received in the year included a £20,000 grant from B&M retail for the vehicle fund, and an £8,284 bequest from the estate of Jean Buckley. We have also received over £20,740 through Just Giving from a range of fundraising activities by supporters. Thanks to John Mottram for continuing to manage the collection boxes. Income for this year (which includes 2020-21 income) from these is provisionally £3,065.88. We continue to receive significant income through the sale of team supporter multi-wraps. Thanks to Mike Potts and Pete Doyle for managing this. Other individual items are detailed in the monthly reports.

5 year plan and fundraising aspirations

The Trustees and Leadership have introduced financial budgets for the various aspects of the Team to allow us to foresee and better plan for financial challenges the Team routinely faces.

Over the last few years the Trustees have also implemented robust organisational processes to continue our mission to have the highest levels of professionalism across all our operations and activities and in our financial controls and governance. This includes:

having a robust business case and plan for all projects, to ensure we fully assess what we are allocating funds to, the reasons for the need, why the project is an appropriate response to the need and research into the quality and price of alternative solutions
Taking into account our risk management and health and safety policies in all decisions we make

Based on this forward look, we maintain a rolling five year expenditure plan, which includes all routine running costs, training costs, and maintenance and renewal of team equipment and personal issue kit. Increased inflation is an important factor which will increase costs on all aspects of our operations, we have included inflation forecasts into our forward look and have taken action to mitigate the impact by moving some funds into restricted access higher interest earning accounts.

Major items of expenditure for the next 5 years include the replacement of the two team Landrovers and replacement defibrillators. These costs are in addition to the projected £40,000 “normal” annual cost of running the team. We have initiated a specific fundraising project for the replacement rescue vehicles, and are hoping to purchase the first vehicle in 2023.
