Tees River Rescue is an independent rescue charity based on the River Tees in the North East of England.
As well as providing search and rescue, we patrol the River at peak times throughout the year and provide education, support and reassurance for river users up and down the 26.7 miles of navigable river.
As a charity, we rely on support from the public, local businesses, supporters and our volunteers. Tees River Rescue has no paid staff and receives no government funding. As an independent inland lifeboat we aim to be on call 24/7 at the request of emergency services and to provide patrols at key times.

Huge thanks to Stephen from Gardiner Electrical & Properties Ltd for his in-kind support, and for doing such a neat and tidy job fitting our emergency lighting. We can definitely recommend him to any potential new customers.
We are so lucky to have support from local businesses who are willing to donate goods or their services. ![]()

Today big thanks go out to Richard Dent of RDS Steel Fabrication who donated this secure box for fuel storage on the quayside, enabling us to refuel more quickly and therefore launch faster. We are really grateful for his support. 👏🏻
@followers As a charity we must raise 100% of our costs each year through donations, sponsorship and grants.![]()

We are looking for helpful, community minded local businesses and workplaces who would be happy to host our static collection tins. As well as collecting loose change, they also have a clever QR code on the side which enables those without cash to make an online donation instead.![]()
