Mountain Rescue in England and Wales is paid for entirely by public donations.
Keeping ourselves funded and financially viable is a constant battle, with much of the activity being labour intensive. If you want to do more than put a few pennies in a box, you can help us by donating in the following ways.

Host a collection box
Collection boxes hosted by local pub-keepers and shop owners are good fund-raisers for us. They are virtually maintenance free for you as we keep to a regular swap routine. If you have counter space for a donation box, please get in touch.
Sponsorship
The team welcomes corporate sponsors and the support of groups and clubs. We have a wish list of specific items you may like to refer to, along with other ways to help us please check these out.
If you're holding or getting involved in a sponsored event why not build your own page to allow your supporters to donate direct to Langdale and Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team.
