Donations & Fundraising
UWFRA is made up of over 80 well trained and well equipped volunteer cavers, climbers and mountaineers and is on call 365 days a year. Our membership live in the Dales or travel from as far away as Leeds or Bradford and are prepared to respond to a callout at any time of the day or night in the worst of weather conditions.
We demand the most up to date equipment and many items must be changed or removed from use by strict control and rotation. We receive no Government funding and our services remain free to those who need us. Our annual running costs are currently in excess of £34,000 per annum and we remain reliant on donations and fundraising events. Without your support and generosity our rescue team could not function.

Gift Aid & Postal Donations
Gift Aid is a scheme used by charities and donors to reclaim tax on charitable donations. This means if you are a tax payer the Association can reclaim tax on your recorded donations. This increases the income to the association by 22%.
For every £1 you give, our Team will receive an extra 28p.
