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.

Fantastic to be supporting Infinity Boat Club tonight at their official launch. The boat Mark Mason and crew following the young people rowing past the club in a fairy light flotilla!![]()

Such a great club, giving young people from our area the opportunity to learn rowing, and discovering a lot of transferrable skills they can apply to be successful in life 👏🏻
You may remember back in July we were lucky enough to be one of two charities nominated by BOConline to receive a massive £5000 donation from Venator Materials Plc, following BOC receiving Venator’s Supplier of the Year Award. Following this donation an offer of help was extended by BOC, so last month on a bright October morning we welcomed eight colleagues from BOC, who gave up half a day help us clean our two rigid inflatable boats, the Mark Mason and Adjutor. ![]()

It wasn't all hard work though. Plenty of tea and biscuits were consumed for energy, and we treated them all to a quick spin up to the Tees Barrage and back on Mark Mason. Thank you so much from the whole Tees River Rescue team 👏
A big thank you goes out today to our supporters The Teesside Charity 👏![]()

They kindly awarded us funds towards the purchase of waterproof and windproof jackets and salopettes for the team. Steve Smith, Trustee at The Teesside Charity came down to the base recently to meet some of the team and hear how the new clothing will help us keep our volunteers warm, dry and comfortable in all weathers when responding to emergencies on the river. 👏
Today one of our trustees and volunteers got to take their family to see Boro Vs Luton courtesy of The Teesside Charity and Host & Stay. Thank you very much we had a great time. Great score too with a 5-1 win! #UTB
