Leave a legacy to SRMRT
Help protect our lifesaving service for future generations
Every year, volunteers from respond to incidents across the North York Moors and surrounding areas — day and night, in all weather conditions, 365 days a year.
Our team provides specialist search and rescue, casualty care, water rescue and technical rope rescue in some of the most challenging environments in the region. Like many mountain rescue teams across the UK, we are entirely reliant on donations and public support to remain operational.
By choosing to leave a gift in your Will, you can help ensure that future generations continue to receive this vital emergency service when they need it most.
Why leave a legacy gift?
A legacy donation, no matter the size, can make a lasting difference to our team and the people we help.
Your gift could help us to:
Maintain and replace emergency response vehicles
Purchase specialist lifesaving equipment
Train volunteers in advanced rescue and casualty care skills
Support search dog operations
Maintain our rescue base and communications systems
Ensure our team remains ready to respond 24/7
Legacy gifts help provide long-term stability for the team and allow us to continue serving our communities for years to come.
Every gift matters
You do not need to leave a large estate to make a meaningful contribution.
Many supporters choose to leave:
- A fixed amount of money
- A percentage of their estate
- The remainder of their estate after loved ones have been provided for
Any gift left to will be used carefully and responsibly to support the ongoing work of the team.
A service built entirely on volunteers
Our team members freely give their time to train, respond to incidents and support the community. We receive no direct government funding for our day-to-day operations and rely heavily on donations and fundraising to continue our work.
Leaving a legacy gift is one of the most powerful ways you can help safeguard this service for the future.
