**Trustee recruitment and appointment**||| ||Lomond Mountain Rescue Team is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated
Organisation (SCIO).
Day to day administration of Lomond Mountain Rescue Team is
undertaken by a committee chaired by the Team Leader and elected by
the members.
The Board of Trustees, also elected by the members, oversees the
activities of the organisation, for example by monitoring and controlling the
financial position of the organisation.|| ||Trustees are elected by members in accordance with the constitution.|| |**Objectives and activities**|| |---|---| |**Charitable purposes**
**Summary of the main activities**
**in relation to these objects**|| ||The aims of the team are:
- to give assistance to the police in rescuing people lost or injured in the
mountains and other inaccessible areas in Scotland
- to promote safe practice in the mountains
- to train the members in mountain rescue techniques and to encourage
the advancement of knowledge of these skills
- to co-operate with other mountain rescue teams in Scotland by rendering
assistance when required and by being affiliated to ‘Scottish Mountain
Rescue’.| ||Over the past year Lomond Mountain Rescue Team has responded to 39
official requests for help from Police Scotland.
In addition, we have a full training programme mainly undertaken on
Thursday evenings and Sundays, encompassing all aspects of search and
rescue.
We continued our provision of safety & first aid cover at our usual local
sporting and hill racing events in 2024, as well as giving local community
group talks to promote knowledge of safe practice whilst walking in the
hills and raise awareness of the equipment we carry for search and rescue
purposes.| **2** ## **APPENDIX 1** ## **Achievements and performance** |**Summary of the main achievements of**
**the charity during the financial period**|Lomond Mountain Rescue Team undertook 39 rescue missions this year.
We also carried out our usual full training programme of approximately 35
sessions (including our winter training weekend at Glenshee), covering all
aspects of training, including search management, first aid, casualty
evacuation, helicopter familiarisation, avalanche search & rescue, comms,
searching with drones, and technical rescues. We slso enjoyed successful
joint training days with Arran MRT, and Killin & Ochils MRTs.
Additionally, various Team members undertook specialist training courses
including Remote Rescue Medical Technician, Rigging Practitioner, 4x4
driving, search management and avalanche rescue.
Whilst our existing Incident Control Vehicle and Hilux continue to serve us
well, we are hoping to replace our ageing Land Rover Defender 130 in
2025, and the necessary funding and research for a suitable replacement
is being put in place.| |---|---| ||| ||| |**Financial review**|| ||| |**Brief statement of the charity’s policy**
**on reserves**
**Details of any deficit**
**Donated facilities and services (if any)**|| ||Given the uncertain nature of our funding base, the Team has a policy to
have a reserve of £50,000 in our account to meet annual running costs.
The transfer of ownership of our Mountain Rescue Post from the Order of
St John to the Team took place in October 2017. In 2019 the Team
undertook a program of refurbishment and renovation works to better
equip the base for our ongoing needs, and this was completed in March
2020.
We are continuing our rolling fundraising programme to prepare for the
replacement of larger items (vehicles) and other equipment and training
needs over the coming years.| ||N/a| ||N/a| ||| **3** **APPENDIX 1** ## **Other optional information** ## **Declaration** **----- Start of picture text -----**
