It's International Women's day and we'd like to you to join us in celebrating the women of OxSAR past and present. Without them we wouldn't be here providing the service we do to missing people, their loved ones and the emergency services. #ThankYou #IWD2023

A wreath was laid at Witney Remembrance Service on behalf of OxSAR today. We remember the fallen and those left behind.
Words can not truly describe today’s emotions save for 3: #LESTWEFORGET
Please raise a glass this evening to our "Absent Friends" & those who’ve gone before

[Oxfordshire LSAR @oxsar]

We are very thankful for the continued support from @OxfordshirePGL
Their donations help Nicky our Members Rep to keep our welfare kit stocked.
The welfare kit sustains our members as they work, often over hours & days, to find missing people & reunite them with their loved ones

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them”

Thank you for your sacrifice @zippythesparky !

Kit familiarisation and modular medical training through the year helps our volunteers stay current, confident and competent.

All our volunteers must meet training competencies every year even our @LowlandRescue National Chair!

[Oxfordshire LSAR @oxsar]

We’ve had a busy week, but some had to be kept low key. Today we’re back out assisting @WiltshireSAR

[Oxfordshire LSAR @oxsar]

Thank you Matthew, we really enjoyed having you all along.

[Matthew Barber @matthewbarberUK]

The skill and training of everyone involved - human and canine - is truly impressive. I’m pleased to continue supporting the work of search and rescue teams across Thames Valley in their work to keep people safe.

[Oxfordshire LSAR @oxsar]

On Monday night we where delighted to welcome the @TV_PCC @matthew_barber and his daughter to K9 team training. We talked about how we work with Thames Valley Police, discovered his daughter's talent for radio comms & introduced his dog Oscar to basic search dog exercises.
