As a voluntary organisation, like all other cave and mountain rescue teams in Britain, MCRO relies on donations, fundraising events and occasional grants for its income.
Maintaining an effective Cave Rescue capability is a challenge and we rely heavily upon the efforts of team members, their caving clubs, friends and relations to rally round and support us. We have also been very fortunate to have a number of commercial organisations support us through the donation of equipment, allowing us access to vertical training facilities, or offering us equipment at reduced rates.
If you feel you would like to support us with a donation, please email the secretary: secretary"at"midlandscaverescue.org.uk (replace the "at" with @)
