Para 1.20 | The team has now grown to just short of 40 members, following a very successful recruitment drive in late 2023. The team has also rebranded from its previous name of North Cumbria Rescue Response to North Cumbria Search and Rescue. The team is working towards being directly taskable by Cumbria Police via Sarcall, a web application used by all Mountain Rescue teams in Cumbria. This will enable a quicker alerting process for the team enabling prompt response times. We hope to have this completed in Q2 of 2024. The team has seen several significant callouts in the last 12 months with our service being held in high regard by partner agencies, as a result of the hard work and dedication of our team members. The team continues to run community outreach courses in Water Awareness and First Aid and have done several talks and demonstrations to youth and community groups in our operating area. |

of the The cost-of-living crisis as well as rising fuel costs are having an
principal impact on our fundraising income from the public and corporate
risks facing donators. Additionally, our operational costs have increased due to
the charity having increased fuel usage and cost.
Our continued concern going forward is the next phase of growth for
the charity, where large sums of money will be required to purchase
vehicles and property to facilitate continued expansion and service
delivery.
