Summary of the main achievements ofthe charity during the year				2021 sawtheteam continue i ' long tra i ion o providing afree service for the those in need 24 hours a day 365days ofthe year. This was made more challenging by the Covid pandemic which again restricted conventional public fund-raising events and restricted the
				ways we could train and operate. Against this backdrop it isof particular note that the team remained fully operational and exited the
				year in a healthy financial position.
				During 2021 the team was called out a total of 61 times. Just over half
				were rescues, the search proportion reduced to 30%with the majority
				related to vulnerable people and 10%were related to assisting with
				adverse weather events. Regrettably we again dealt with 5fatalities
				during the year. The team was also consulted on a further 21
				incidents where full deployment was not in the end required.
				The team received many compliments on our skills and service during
				the year. The public remain ever grateful that Mountain Rescue isa
				free service in the UK hills (for further details on team callouts see the
				team website; htt s://clevelandmrt. or .uk/ .
				The team maintained its operational capability via a tailored training
				programme which focused on maintaining core individual skills whilst
				minimising group working and close contact between individuals.
				On incident revised procedures for dealing with casualties continued
				to be applied based on Government and MREW guidance. This
				included the sourcing and issue of appropriate PPE for team
				members.
				The team continued to develop its' assets and personnel during the
				year. Particular highlights were spending f32k on the Base to enhance facilities and f6k on training (swift water rescue and
				response driving).
				The Support Group were again important in maintaining income
				during this challenging year. Particular areas of success were: tax
				refunds (VAT &Gift Aid), social media profile and grant income.
				The team continues to participate actively in regional and national
				forums for MR and in local resilience forums. The later has allowed
				stronger relationships to be built with the Coastguard and Fire and
				Rescue over recent years. This is particularly important in our
				su ort for floodin events.
				Given the ongoing potential for variable income levels and the desire to
