Ahoy my hearties..

This past weekend , held a Pirate theme weekend raising funds to go towards their chosen charity DORSAR!

A few of our volunteers set sail and ventured forth amongst the pirates, sharing our stories of what we do to help others and to offer our thanks to any who shared their loot with us.

The staff were amazing and topped us with teas and coffees when required and we're so happy to see us. Thank you to The Smugglers Inn for their long standing and continued support.

As we set sail we wished them all fair winds..

"Farewell me hearties"

We would like to thank the Normington family for their continued support by raising funds for Dorset Search and Rescue in memory of Kevin Normington.

This week our Unit Lead Rebecca and Treasurer Paul met with Kelsey, Kerry, Liz and Dennis to be given the latest donation from their recent fundraising activities.

The family have supported our team by raising money for many years which allows our volunteers to continue searching for high risk vulnerable missing people in Dorset and beyond.
