💔 Several young people have lost their lives after going for a swim or jumping into open water. To help us raise awareness of the dangers of open water we are working with family members and friends who have lost loved ones to drowning @missmybabyboy @SparkysCrew @_jpfoundation
The weather might not be great today but we are pleased all the same to launch our new water safety campaign to help prevent accidental drownings in Greater Manchester’s waterways 🌊 These incidents do tend to happen more so when it's hot, however, can happen at any time 😢 pic.twitter.com/XobCSQtBx3
At 15:55 yesterday we were contacted by @NWAmbulance who were requesting our assistance near Rivington Pike. A three year old boy was out walking with his family just below the Pike tower when he was struck by a male riding a mountian bike. Continued... facebook.com/58756182794365…
As we enter further easing of restrictions this weekend the @NWAmbulance have enhanced their plans to ensure we can respond to the increase in demand we will face. Please be careful, and remember we are still dealing with COVID-19. #SaveLives
How many other countries have unarmed officers running towards knife wielding killers. British Police really are quite remarkable when you stop to think about that.

Great donation from Blackrod Scarecrow Festival ‘Scarecrow Mountain Rescue’ display
On Monday 6th July 2015 we reported within our website on the fantastic Scarecrow MRT / Bolton MRT themed display at this years Blackrod Scarecrow two day Festival, Saturday 4th / Sunday 5th July 2015.
Over the weekend of the 4th & 5th July 2015, the ninth annual Blackrod Scarecrow Festival was held with 131x officially registered Scarecrows (and many more not registered) in various locations around Blackrod, which engaged the whole community, with many events including school fates, open days and associated events held over the same weekend.
We were delighted to report that Bolton Mountain Rescue Team was supported by a fantastic friend of the team, Joanna Sweet, with her version of Scarecrow Mountain Rescue, with Scarecrows mimicking the team (Some would say that’s how we dress normally !)
We are now very happy to report the receipt of a very kind donation of £16.25p raised by Joanna Sweet at her display, which has been thoughtfully passed on to the Bolton Mountain Rescue Team.
All in the team membership wish to extend our grateful thanks to Joanna Sweet for her time and great effort pout in to her display and for raising this money in such a unique way, thank you.
