East Cornwall Search and Rescue Team is a charity made up of over 40 unpaid volunteers who are on call 24/7, 365 days of the year, supporting statutory emergency services to search and rescue missing persons. Each year it costs around £25,000 to keep the team running, we do not receive any funding from the Government and therefore heavily rely on public generosity.

We are proud to announce that one of our Search Dogs has recently qualified and is now able to assist the team in searches for High Risk Missing Persons. TegOrs who lives in the parish and his handler have worked tirelessly for over two years. Massive congratulations to them both for the incredible work put in. TegOrs brother Mac is not far behind and will hopefully qualify this year.
