Friends in high places
The aim of Friends in High Places (FiHP) is to provide all manner of support to Edale Mountain Rescue Team (EMRT) allowing team members to focus on helping those in difficulty on the hills.
FiHP members help the team in many ways and volunteers are always welcome. Assistance with fund raising and equipment maintenance. Acting as casualties for team training sessions. Providing administrative support with fund raising, publicity and project management.
If you would like to support Edale MRT, drop us an email!
If you live in or near to the Peak District, depending on your skills and interest, you have the opportunity of supporting Edale MRT in a number of very interesting and practical ways.
You could take part in and help coordinate fundraising activities. Fundraising takes place in many ways, including street collections and country shows. Very often these are joint Edale MRT / FiHP events. However team members may well be involved in a call out, therefore if FiHP are not there, fundraising stops.
Marshall’s are required at checkpoints during the Annual Nine Edges event in the autumn. Collection Boxes in shops, pubs and cafes need servicing.
Individual initiatives include sponsored events and selling home-made marmalade.
Equipment sessions take place on a Sunday morning once a month. Team members use the time to maintain, check and replenish equipment. If you are able to help on equipment sessions, you will be most welcome.
Would you feel comfortable working as a practice casualty in a supported hill environment in all weathers? If you are a hill walker, climber or fell runner, this may be for you. Guidance for the role will be given.
On some Sunday mornings throughout the year, Mountain Rescue Search Dog England (MRSDE) training takes place in the Peak District and over weekends about once a month in other parts of England in mountain and hill areas.
If you are comfortable working with dogs in all weathers, an experienced hill walker, your assistance would be most welcome in this interesting aspect of mountain rescue. The skill, ability and enthusiasm of the dogs will amaze you.
If you are interested in becoming a Corporate Sponsor please email us.
