(in all but pay*)
It costs nearly £15,000 per year just to keep the team running.
As we receive no government funding we have to rely on public donations, grant applications and sponsorship to ensure kit and training can be provided and maintained, such as:
- Keeping our support vehicles on the road
- Essential Training for all our volunteers
- Mandatory subscriptions and insurances
- Essential life saving and extraction kit
And so much more to enable us to continue to search for missing people in all weathers at any time of the day or night.
* Our Team members receive no expenses or benefits and are currently even required to buy their own personal kit including weatherproof clothing, walking boots, torches and rucksack!

How You Can Help Us
NorLSAR is always grateful of any support. If you are able to help us save lives by providing any of the following, please contact us.
Fundraising Team
Volunteers needed
Norfolk Lowland Search and Rescue are looking to form a dedicated volunteer group to support the charity with fundraising.
Individuals will be given a presentation on the service, involving questions and answers, as well as T-shirts to wear with our logo and an ID badge.
Each person will always have a member of the search team with them for support.
Collections are carried out at events, fetes and outside supermarkets.
We would aim to have these in the locality where you live.
If you are interested, please apply by writing to Debs at fundraising@norlsar.org.uk
