Glen of Imaal Mountain Rescue
(IE, MYC0041) Browse events
YTD Raised: €10,819.43The Glen of Imaal Red Cross Mountain Rescue Team has been in operation since 1983 and has been a branch of the Irish Red Cross since 1984. We carry out rescue activities throughout County Wicklow and further afield when required. The team is wholly comprised of volunteers, but strive to provide as professional a service as possible. We can be contacted 24/7 by ringing 999 or 112 and asking for “Mountain Rescue”. Members live and work mainly locally to the mountains and will assist anyone who has become lost, injured or perhaps trapped due to weather etc. The team has successfully built a mountain rescue base near Laragh in Co. Wicklow, and it was officially opened in May 2012 by President Michael D. Higgins. This represented a huge organisational and fundraising effort by the team and supporting community members. The next challenges facing the team include purchasing and modifying two new rescue vehicles, and an upgrading of the team’s communications system. Both of these will prove to be expensive ventures but are necessary as older versions become outdated and obsolete. We are asking for assistance throughout the community, and for people to contribute in any way they can. Every contribution is valuable and goes directly towards saving lives in the mountains.
