The Yorkshire Post Rural Awards have teamed up with the Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team to raise money for their worthy organisation.

During the devastating floods in July this year, the SMRT were on hand and coordinated the rescue of seven people who were trapped on highways by the sudden flooding along with other emergency services. 

The Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team comprises of 40 members, all volunteers, who are available at all times of the day and night in any weather, 365 days per year, to assist those in distress or lost in the remote areas of Swaledale & Wensleydale, North Yorkshire. They are funded entirely from donations, lets help them out!
