🎉Tomorrow is and with the arrival of we are reminded about the challenging conditions that our Volunteers can face when tasked on a call-out.

⛰Mountain Rescue Awareness Day is an opportunity to highlight how our volunteer Members are on call 365/24/7 ready to respond when tasked with a call-out.

📱If you get into difficulty in mountainous and upland areas, remember to call 999 and ask for the Police Service of Northern Ireland and then Mountain Rescue.

With the weather forecast this weekend we would advise against hiking and climbing activities.

Team Call Out Update

This afternoon, our team was tasked by PSNI to assist in the search for a missing person.

Using phone location technology, we were able to obtain a location and guide our team to the casualty.

The person was located safely and checked over by team members before being reunited with their vehicle.

Thankfully, all ended well and the team stood down shortly afterwards.

The theme for 2026 is “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change” and this is what PIPS Su***de Prevention Charity aims to do - demand change to help make a difference.

Today is 🎉

We promote safety in the mountains and hills to ensure everyone can enjoy the great outdoors.

It is important to respect the environment and plan carefully, so you can protect both your own safety and the delicate mountain habitats you visit. This also helps to ensure our beautiful areas are safe for everyone to explore.

We are very grateful to have received grant funding from Mid and East Antrim Borough Council which has been used to purchase a modified wheel unit for our rescue stretcher and also storage racks in our Ballymena base.

The Team had the opportunity to practice with the stretcher kit earlier this week on Slemish.

As a 100% led charity we truly appreciate all funding and are delighted that Mid and East Antrim Borough Council recognise our work in the community.

⛰On Sunday, we had a Full Team training day focusing on steep ground training which was facilitated by Paul Kellagher and Ciaran Kinney.

🪢The location we used was at Fairhead and the morning session involved personal movement on steep ground and gaining confidence in roping. The afternoon session was at the Ballycastle Descent Gully where Members had the opportunity to focus on short roping.

😀Thank you to Paul and Ciaran for sharing their knowledge and skills with our Members.
