Story

Hi - thank you for visiting the First British Overland Fundraising Page.

JustGiving is honestly so much better than I thought ... they take their commision from the Gift Aid and not from your donation - so Longtown Mountain Rescue Team actually get more money by going through JustGiving and getting them to claim the Gift Aid ... simples! Here is what JustGiving have to say:

'Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity'

In a nutshell we are driving Series Land Rovers around the whole of the UK stopping at every National Park - and meeting the resident Search and Rescue Teams in each - in order to raise money for Longtown MRT as well as raising awareness of Mountain Rescue and the National Parks in general.

So please dig deep and donate now. Thank you.
