West Cornwall Search & Rescue Team

West Cornwall Search and Rescue Team (WCSAR) operates a voluntary search and rescue capability across the far southwest of mainland Britain. The team's unpaid volunteers are available 24/7, 365 days a year to support the emergency services to search for lost, missing and injured people. Funded entirely by donations, the team maintains a core membership of 40 highly-trained volunteers from all walks of life, a rescue base in the centre of the region, a fully-equipped incident control vehicle and an off-road ambulance. WCSAR is a member of Mountain Rescue England and Wales, the umbrella organisation that coordinates the provision of inland search and rescue as part of the UKSAR framework. Within MREW, the team works alongside it's partner teams within the PenMaCRA (Peninsula Mountain and Cave Rescue Association) region.
