CORNWALL Search and Rescue Team has received £1,000 from the business club of the Cornwall Community Foundation towards new rescue equipment.

Cornwall Search and Rescue Team is a registered charity that provides a search and rescue service for missing, lost and injured people 24/7, 365 days a year across the whole of inland Cornwall.

The team is made up entirely of volunteers who give their time to attend call outs and essential training freely. They work with 70 volunteers who operate from two separate bases located in East and West Cornwall.

A cheque was recently presented by two members of the CCF business club, C100.
