82 Islands · 28 May 2023

We are an organisation of trained volunteers who can be called out by the Police to search for missing and vulnerable people. We can be called to assist other Lowland search teams in major incidents in neighbouring areas, and we are also able to assist in civil emergency situations. We may be mobilised at short notice to search for a missing person in woodland, quarries, watercourses, nature reserves, farmland, towns and villages. Operating in all weathers, 24/7, 365 days a year, our search teams can save lives. Families and friends of missing people appreciate that a group of specialist volunteers have been ready and able to give their time to search for their loved one.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

There are 82 islands around the GB which are greater than 5km2 in size. Starting at St Mary's in the Isles of Scilly at the end of May, I shall be traveling to all the islands ending at Unst in the Shetlands by the end of August

To make it interesting, I will be travelling by public transport - bus/boat and running at least 10km on each

I am a member of Midshires Search and Rescue - MSAR and am raising money for this voluntary group

MSAR is available 24/7 and assists the police to locate missing and vulnerable persons in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. It is very busy at times!

MSAR is a member unit of the UK’s Lowland Rescue service, alongside Mountain Rescue, Cave Rescue, the RNLI and Volunteer Coastguard. It is run totally by volunteers, and running costs are entirely met by donations and fundraising activities.
