Who are we?
We are Oxfordshire’s Lowland Rescue team. A team of professional volunteers on call 24/7 to search for high risk vulnerable missing people, support the emergency services, and support Oxfordshire’s vital public services in extreme circumstances.
Every 90 seconds somebody is reported missing to Police Forces across the United Kingdom. Each missing person report is somebody’s parent, child, sibling, partner or friend. Some of these people - due to their health, state of mind, or age are at risk.
We assist Thames Valley Police to find these people, bring them to safety and reunite them with their loved ones.
Because of our training, the equipment and professional skill we have available, we often help our community in other ways.
We are proud members of Lowland Rescue, our governing body and part of the UK’s Search and Rescue Framework.
We also support Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue service in Flood Rescue. Also, Oxfordshire County Council during times of natural disasters, adverse weather etc.
As we are a not for profit charity, we are entirely funded by your generosity.
