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.

A big thank you today to Megan and Sue from Darlington Building Society Stockton and Middlesbrough branches who have been here most of the day helping with the tombola. You’ve been stars! 🌟 We really appreciate it 👏🏻
We’re here, and all ready for visitors! If you are coming down to the new riverside park today to explore please come and see us and Quay Corner cafe.
Don’t forget to visit us in Stockton tomorrow whilst you are in the town for the grand riverside park opening. We’re just a few hundred metres down the riverside, past the Teesside Princess. We’ll have a tombola, games, chat about volunteering, and our neighbours Quay Corner cafe will be serving cakes, coffee, pizzas and cocktails! See you there!

Today we want to say a massive thank you to Last Mile Logistic Solutions. Members of their team recently took on the challenge to walk 100 miles in May, and Jane popped in on Wednesday to hand over the £240 raised. ![]()

Back in 2024 the company became our first monthly standing order sponsor, and this month they will have contributed £1000 in total since October 2024 on top of the above! Small monthly contributions really do add up and help ensure we can continue to offer our services free of charge to anyone in need. We are hugely grateful to Chris, Lisa, Jane and the whole team for their unwavering support.

This Volunteers Week we are looking for more people to join our existing team of six trustees. Being a charity trustee is a voluntary role, and the main duties of trustees are highlighted in the infographic below. Trustees sometimes have particular training or a specialism that they bring to the table, but anyone with a passion for our work and helping support us to develop and thrive is welcome to apply. ![]()
