Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Scottish Woodlands Ltd has chosen Scottish Mountain Rescue as its Charity of the Year 2024 to support. A member of our staff has been a member of his local team Border Search and Rescue Unit for almost 10 years and knows only too well how important public donations are to allow them to continue providing the best service to the public.

Scottish Mountain Rescue Teams cover the length and breadth of the country and provide emergency response to incidents including injured hillwalkers, flooding and missing persons. All team members are volunteers and respond 24/7 365 days of the year. Although each team receives funding from the Scottish Executive each year, this is usually only enough to cover approximately 50% of a teams operating costs.

Most Scottish Woodlands staff will spend time working in remote locations on a regular basis. Hopefully none of them will require a call to the local team to help them! If they do, you can be sure that any donation you make or fundraising you get involved with will go directly to providing the assistance they need.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. 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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
