Warwickshire Search and Rescue

Warwickshire Search and Rescue is a Lowland Rescue team.  They assist the police in searches for vulnerable missing people throughout Warwickshire, Coventry, Solihull and Eastern Birmingham.  Their members have been on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, since 2013.

Their professionally trained, unpaid voulnteers provide valuable search management expertise and physical resources for searches on land and inland waterways.  This includes specially trained drone and water teams.  Most of this work involves locating high risk missing people, many with dementia or mental health issues, whose lives are in danger.

Finding these people as quickly and as safely as possible is crucial, particularly for their loved ones.  Even though their involvement in searches is rarely publicised, it has never been more important.  There are more than 330,000 reports of missing people in the UK in a year, according to a recent report by UK Missing Persons Unit.

This is a registered charity.  They receive no statutory funding and have to raise the money to cover all their costs.

We are proud to help with the maintenance of the Lowland Rescue Team's vehicles.
