Our thoughts and condolences are with the Royal Family following the sad news of the death of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Many of our members were inspired to enjoy the outdoors through the DofE Award. The picture shows members meeting the Duke in 1979. pic.twitter.com/SSTC30CcPB
At 4.56pm yesterday we were requested by NWAS to assist with a 22yo male who had fallen at Tiger’s Clough. The team treated him with pain relief & placed a vacuum splint around the injured ankle, then stretchered him to the waiting ambulance.We wish him a speedy recovery. pic.twitter.com/ZEbrt4vaLT
1/2 From all of us at BMRT we would just like to thank every one of you that donated to us this weekend. It was a hard decision for us not to do our usual Easter meet and great around Rivington but for the safety of our team members, we decided against it. pic.twitter.com/xkNOo8equX
It's been a busy start to 2021 for the team. Three months in & we are already on our way to more callouts than we had last year. If you can support us in our work, please feel free to donate via boltonmrt.enthuse.com/#!/ #BoltonMRT #Volunteers #Donate #Rescues #BeenBusy pic.twitter.com/KhDxLT92N8
1/ Today is usually a busy and important day for the team. With so many people visiting the Rivington area in particular, we would usually have our displays set up around the area to help educate people about outdoor safety. pic.twitter.com/0iKNZaqWU1

❓ Did you know that moorland and wildfires can be started in a number of ways? Sadly, many are started deliberately, however, some can break out by people being careless with barbecues, campfires or not disposing of cigarettes properly 🔥 pic.twitter.com/WDHdEHFcXA

Latest fundraising endeavour by young Chloe Southworth, a great friend and supporter of the team
On Sunday 17th May 2015 we reported within the ‘News’ section of our website, that on Saturday 16th May 2015, young Chloe Southworth and her mum Karen Southworth called briefly at our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ, meeting team member and former Team Chairman Ken Oakes, presenting him with a very kind cheque donation of £25.00 from Chloe, arising from some fundraising at school split between some pupils chosen charities.
Chloe’s mum Karen informed us that Chloe had another fundraiser planned soon, a 40s night, again in support of Bolton Mountain Rescue Team.
Regular readers will be aware via our website that on Good Friday 2014, the team came to the rescue of Chloe Southworth, who suffered a serious leg injury on Rivington Pike whilst enjoying the sunny day with her father, uncle and cousin.
Chloe was immediately tended to by team members on the day, and was flown to hospital by the North West Air Ambulance (Please see website ‘News’ report dated Good Friday, 18th April 2014).
Since her accident that day, Chloe has very kindly offered to support the North West Air Ambulance and Bolton Mountain Rescue Team charities in her role as Rose Queen for 2014-2015 at St. Peter’s Church in Chorley.
Today, Tuesday 11th August, via Facebook, we received the following message from Chloe’s mum, Karen;
We all acknowledge the absolutely fantastic effort Chloe is going to, along with her many supporters to in turn support us and the NWAA, what an amazing feat for this young girl, supported by her mum, dad and family.
Obviously all the team membership wishes to thank Chloe for her continuing tremendous support of both ourselves and the North West Air Ambulance.
Please also see website ‘news’ reports dated Friday 20th June, Sunday 22nd June, Monday 29th September, Wednesday 29th October, Monday 3rd November, Sunday 23rd November 2014, and Sunday 17th May 2015.
