The team was first formed as a North of Tyne LEA team in response to an increase in the number of incidents occurring on the hills and fells of Northumbria as outdoor activities such as climbing and hill walking grew in popularity. It became the current North of Tyne Search & Rescue Team (NOTSRT) in the early 80´s.
The team is totally staffed by unpaid volunteers and funded by charitable donation. We receive no government funding.
We currently have 30 qualified hill members and a number of trainees. We operate in partnership with the Northumberland National Park SRT as "Northumbria Search & Rescue Service" providing Search and Rescue cover for the remote & open areas of Northumberland and Tyne & Wear 365 day of the year.
North Of Tyne Search & Rescue Team is affiliated to the North East Search & Rescue Association and the Mountain Rescue Council Of England & Wales.
