SCARBOROUGH AND RYEDALE MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2024
Review of the Charity's achievements and performance, including the difference the Charity has made to the beneficiaries and to wider society throughout the year
2024 was a steady year in operational terms for the Team. We responded to 71 requests for help, up on the quiet year of 2023, but not busy compared to recent years. The majority of these call outs (59%) were rescues, assisting injured or lost people who are not reachable by the statutory emergency services. Searches for lost or vulnerable people made up 31% of callouts. Both North Yorkshire Police and Yorkshire Ambulance Service requested our assistance to locate people using the Mountain Rescue PhoneFind capability. We also provided advice to police and undertook three civil or first aid incidents. We continue to actively engage with all out statutory partners (North Yorkshire Police, Humberside Police, Yorkshire Ambulance Service and North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service) to maintain these key working relationships and ensure they have good awareness of the Team’s skills and capabilities.
During the summer of 2024, our Vehicle Officer oversaw the conversion of the first of our replacement rescue response vehicles. The conversion of the new Toyota Hilux (purchased in 2023) was completed by the end of August, allowing us to retire one of our older Land Rover vehicles and welcome a new Moor Jock 53 into service. The new vehicle represents a significant improvement on the old vehicle in terms of capability, comfort, and safety, and has been widely welcomed by team members. This in turn allowed us to prepare the retired Land Rover for disposal and focus on raising the necessary funds to complete the project by replacing the last of our Land Rovers with another new Hilux.
Following guidance from Mountain Rescue England and Wales (MREW), the Team replaced all of its vacuum body splints in 2024. This was to ensure this critical element of our rescue systems, used to safely and comfortably immobilise casualties with suspected spinal injuries, met current medical standards. This represented both a considerable expense for the Team (although some costs were met by MREW), as well as a considerable training burden in ensure that all team members were practiced and capable with the new devices before they went into service. Keeping ahead of developments and changes to national and international standards and guidance is a critical activity for the Officers of the Team, ensuring that the Team is operating to the highest standards expected in rescue.
Under the guidance of the Training Officer and the Training Subcommittee, seven new members reached operational status and joined the call out list in 2024, having completed all their essential training and achieved the necessary qualifications to join the Team on incidents. This represents a substantial increase in Operational Members in 2024 and a smaller cohort of new members is planned for 2025.
The Training Officer has continued to review and develop the Team’s training programme. Developing and introducing a new revised Rope Rescue qualification schema to ensure the Team’s skills and capabilities are aligned with national expectations and standards. There are also plans to redevelop the Team’s use of online learning within its training and qualification schemes, to maximise the use of the IT infrastructure already in use and available to the Team.
The Challenge Event’s organised by the Team have continued to be popular, providing a valuable funding source and raising the profile of the Team within the local community. The Team continues to deliver two Challenge Events each year – in 2024 this was the Dalby Inferno 10 hour running event and the highly popular Dalby Dash run, previously organised by Pickering Rotary Club to raise money or the Team and other charities. New events for the Team included hosting a rockclimbing themed film night, which proved very popular with the local outdoor community.
Education and outreach continue to be an important part of the Team’s activities. In 2024 this included delivering navigational training for a local running clubs, a series of visits to local schools to demonstrate what the team does, as well as supporting the Let’s Learn Moors educational initiative for school children.

SCARBOROUGH AND RYEDALE MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2024
Review of the Charity's achievements and performance, including the difference the Charity has made to the beneficiaries and to wider society throughout the year (ctd.)
The Trustees continue to support best management practices within the team, further embedding the use of an organisational risk register for the team and undertaking skills audits of the Trustee group to identify skills strengths and gaps. The Operations Group (made up of the elected Incident Controller of the Team) has specifically engaged with training on JESIP (Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Programme), joining training sessions hosted by North Yorkshire Police for all local emergency service responders, enabling increased networking and developing a shared understanding of operational capabilities.
Looking ahead to 2025, the Team is rejuvenating its strategic planning process and considering how to prioritise funding needs and requirements for the coming years. High on this list will be the second replacement rescue response vehicle (see above), but it also includes the continued development of the Team’s tier-3 radio network (to ensure effective communications in our areas of highest operational need) and the long term training needs of the team as we face increased requirements due to legislation insurance needs to demonstrate and evidence our competencies. 2025 is also the Team’s 60th year of operations, so a series of events are planned to allow the Team and its supports to reflect on and celebrate its history and achievements.
Financial Review

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales require the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity for that year.

◦make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statement on the ongoing concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

SCARBOROUGH AND RYEDALE MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2024
As a practising member firm of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, we are subject to its ethical and other professional requirements which are detailed at http://rulebook.accaglobal.com/
I report on the accounts of Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team for the year ended 31st December 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 15.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the Independent Examiner’s Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records; or
-
concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

2023 £ 1,500 1,500 |
|---|---|---|
Funds of £3,000 were received from a legacy in 2020, but this amount is potentially repayable if the solicitors are unable to recover funds from the USA. The outcome of this process is highly uncertain. Given the lack of further information, the probability of it becoming repayable has been estimated as 50%.
