We are extremely grateful to groups or individuals who raise money for Kent Search and Rescue. We rely very much on the goodwill and generosity of others. We are an independant organisation manned by a dedicated team of volunteers and funded entirely from public donations.

Operating costs of approx. £13,000 per year are met primarily by the efforts of the team members who organise fundraising opportunities, undertake sponsored events, do collections at local stores and assist at community events. We hold recruitment days to encourage new volunteers and demonstrate our work. Capital items and major equipment costs are met from donations and the proceeds from any fundraising efforts we hold.

If you are not physically able to help on searches then you can still assist us in other ways, perhaps by becoming a Patron and helping us acquire necessary equipment? We also need people to help with advertising and fundraising.

So if you would like to support us, here's how:
