We need your help. The time is fast approaching when we will need to replace our old control vehicle but the cost of this is likely to be around £56,000. So we are crowdfunding to help raise some of the funds needed.

Unfortunately the storm cancelled the Christmas Market in Truro this evening, but the team still braced the cold with a fundraising collection outside of @CotswoldOutdoor.
The footfall wasn't what it could have been. Thanks to those who visited and left a donation 😀👍 #truro
Over the weekend, Trainee Search Dog Merryn, and her handler, Matt, headed up to the Lake District for a national @MRSearchDogsEng training course with other dogs and handlers from across the country.
Thanks as always to the instructors and bodies for giving up your time.
Over the past few months, some of our team members have been dedicating additional time to train for the @MountainResqUK Cas-Care award. This builds on the core team first-aid training, introducing more complex patient management in both trauma and medical illness.
Super 3-days in the Peaks with @MRSearchDogsEng. Bigger areas, harder terrain, steeper ground and harsher conditions. Merryn did brill. Thanks to the volunteer instructors and bodies as always, especially on Saturday which was ‘slightly damp’.
Over the weekend team members helped to marshal the Moonlight Memory Walk in Falmouth, alongside colleagues from @EastSearch.
The event was in support of @CHSW. Well done to all those who took part - it was a pleasure to be involved.
Coeliac disease is a serious autoimmune condition- and the GF diet is a treatment for life, not a fad/choice. To set the record straight we have written an open letter to the BBC about some confusing messages on a recent programme. Read it on our website: https://t.co/SdVNMoFWL3
