Buckinghamshire Search and Rescue is a member unit of the UK’s Lowland Rescue service. Alongside Mountain Rescue, Cave Rescue, the RNLI and Volunteer Coastguard, we form the backbone of specialist help for the emergency services when anyone is in need of finding or rescuing. Lowland Rescue teams specialise in finding missing people using foot and dog-teams, often over large areas of wilderness and without knowing where the casualty is to begin with. Our volunteer team is trained in rapid searching techniques and navigation to cover this ground effectively, and first aid skills to help casualties when we do find them. Buckinghamshire Search and Rescue is a registered charity, and receives no funding from government or the emergency services – we are 100% reliant on public donations and grants from industry. All of our members are volunteers, and none of them are paid for their time, fuel or expenses.
