4 years agoHad a base tour after a fund raiser for these absolute heroes. Impossible to describe the hard work and dedication these fantastic people put in. Can't wait to see what the base will look like after refurb and refit!

6 months agoThe crew (Mark Clayton, Dave Killingback, Al & Rob) took care of a family member following a car accident at Rocklands. I cannot express how grateful I am to the crew for their professionalism, empathy and kindness. We are so lucky to have this valuable resource.

3 years agoA huge thank you to the wonderful crew who came to the rescue of my husband after a freak cycling accident near South Creake two and a half weeks ago while we were on holiday in the area. They regularly face horrifying situations with calmness and professionalism; we will forever be grateful for their expertise and dedication to helping others. I’m thankful to report that he is recovering well.
