We have decided to take part in this years Big Black Mountains Challenge - we will be walking 45km across the stunning Black mountains in South Wales, starting at Llanthony priory. We are really excited to be doing this walk for such a good cause, if anyone would like to donate, that would be awesome 😊 

About Longtown Mountain Rescue:

Longtown Mountain Rescue Team was originally formed in 1965 to help people in difficulties within the Black Mountains. The role of the team has now expanded to include a wide variety of potential situations, where the police consider their assistance and expertise would be of benefit.

They are an independent charity responsible for the teams funding and management. The team consists solely of volunteers from all walks of life, with a wide variety of occupations, who give up their free time to combine a love of the outdoors with serving the community, assisting people in distress. This commitment means they can be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as well as attending the training required to increase and maintain the necessary skills needed to operate.

As a registered Charity (518928) all running costs must be raised by donations, sponsorship, or fundraising events. Without the generous support of individuals, groups and local companies the team would not be able to operate. It costs over £30,000 for LMRT to operate each year. The team are grateful for all the support they receive, and you can be assured that any money they receive will contribute towards the cost of running the team and their ability, when required, to potentially save lives.
