Team Attends Darwen 999 Day
Yesterday, the team attended the annual Darwen 999 Day held in the centre of Darwen. At this year’s event, as well as Bolton Mountain Rescue Team, were Lancashire Police and Fire & Rescue Services, and Rosemere Cancer Foundation. We also met our friends and supporters from the Rotary Club of Darwen, who were promoting their Lego Darwen Tower project inside the adjacent market.
Three of our Support Group members looked after our fundraising stall, whilst seven operational members answered questions from the public about our search and rescue service, equipment and vehicles. We had visits from the Mayors of Blackburn and Darwen and many members of the general public.
We are very grateful for the great interest shown in our work by all who visited us and thankful for the fantastic donations totalling £220.08.

Team attends Kingfisher Trail Festival at Clifton Country Park.
Today, 3 team members attended the Kingfisher Trail festival at Clifton Country Park, organised by the Lancashire Wildlife Trust to promote the 14 mile trail from Salford to Bolton raising awareness of the natural and man-made industrial features of the Croal Irwell valley.
There was a great deal of interest in the team from the visitors to the event, enquiring about the work of the Team, donations totalling £31.07 gratefully received.
The team would like to extend thanks Stephen Cartwright from the Lancashire Wildlife Trust for the invite to the Kingfisher Trail Festival and to all visitors who took the time to visit the team.
