Welcome to the Rescue Benevolent Fund, an independent charity set up to help the wider mountain and cave rescue family in need.

Mountain and cave rescue team members are on call 24/7, 365 days a year helping injured and lost walkers, climbers and cavers to safety – not to mention the odd kayaker, paraglider or flood-stranded homeowner. They give up their time, put their lives and families on hold to help those in need.

But what happens when they get injured? When a rescue call-out results in physical or emotional distress for the rescuers themselves and hardship for their families?

Well, that’s where we come in.
