ACTIONS ON | Assessment day for a few more of our trainee search technicians. Observing their drills during a 'find' is one of the skills tested.

Could you spend a minute to nominate us for a chance to win £1000. A small community charity like ours would really benefit from this grant to go towards the operational running costs. Charity no. is 1122651 movementforgood.com/?utm_source=Em…

First time seeing a Brocken Spectre, photo taken on the #malvern Hills this week. Didn’t know what one was so googled it, its a magnified shadow of an observer cast in mid air upon any type of cloud opposite a strong light source (the sun) #outdoors #weather #worcestershire

Purposeful Wandering - ‘where the person is searching for something or someone or a particular object’. Just one of the skills needed to be a SAR team member. Last night another cohort of West Mercia Search and Rescue trainee Search Techs took their assessments and became operational.

Point of Find and Recovery scenarios being practiced with the help of our glamorous assistant Ruth Lee Ltd | Rescue Training Manikins All passed, so 3 new SAR members ready to serve their community. #SAR #volunteer #team
