Tees River Rescue

Tees River Rescue aims to protect life on the River Tees
by deploying volunteers to patrol the Tees and to provide search and rescue alongside Emergency Services.

We are independent and rely on donations and sponsors to
fund our boat "Adjutor" and to deploy volunteers to patrol, search and rescue.

Providing safety patrols at peak times to promote River Safety and educate people on River safety.

During 2021 we will be training in search (Covid-19 dependent) and able to provide a search facility to emergency services.

During 2021 we will be training in rescue (Covid-19 & funding dependent) to be able to rescue those who need it.

The River Tees is a jewel in the crown of the Tees Valley
making sure everyone can use the river safely and enjoy it is our primary aim.
