💚 Thank You for Your Support! 💚

A huge welcome and a heartfelt thank you to all our new followers! 😁

At Dorset Search and Rescue, we're incredibly grateful for every person who follows, likes, comments on and shares our posts.

We are an entirely volunteer run charity. From our search teams to our fundraising, PR and social media volunteers and everyone else, every hour is freely given to help find missing and vulnerable people across Dorset.
Your support helps us reach more people, raise awareness of our work and ultimately continue providing this vital service to our community.

Now we have a challenge and we'd love your help! 👇

We're currently just shy of 7,000 followers and we'd love to reach 10,000 followers by Christmas. 🎄

It's an ambitious goal but with your help, we believe we can get there!

Here's how you can support us:

✅ Follow our page if you haven't already
✅ Share this post with your friends, family and local community groups
✅ Help spread the word about Dorset Search and Rescue and the incredible work our volunteers do

📊 Our stats so far this year:
🔎 Incidents: 28
🏃 Exercises: 112
🎪 Events: 136

Every one of these hours has been made possible by your donations, your support, your shares and your help in raising awareness of what we do.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we can reach more people, help more families, and continue making a difference when it matters most. 💚

Lets see if we can get to 10,000 by Christmas Day! What an amazing gift that would be.

One of our newest recruits is learning the ropes or rather, the routes!

Navigation training is a key part of Search and Rescue but we’ve noticed he tends to 'paws' for thought.

We think he’s getting his bearings… slowly.

This Sunday, 25th October, the clocks go back one hour!
That means an extra hour in bed for most…

…but not for our volunteers on call.
When time stands still, we don’t.

No matter what the clocks or the weather are doing, Dorset Search and Rescue is ready, on standby to help find missing and vulnerable people in Dorset. 💚
