Annual Review 2022

Annual Review 2022

Scottish Mountain Rescue have published their Annual Review for 2022.

The Annual Review covers the year 2022 and looks at the work of the volunteer rescue teams, team member profiles and rescue stories, as well as achievements that have been made over the year.

Chair of SMR, Bill Glennie, talks about the year experienced by the mountain rescue volunteers.  “2022 was another incredibly busy year for teams with 906 call-outs and 29,804 hours spent on rescues. What many people may not realise however, is the breadth of work that the volunteer Mountain Rescue Teams do”

“The rescues that teams respond to are really just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what they do. We estimate that the teams spend at least double the amount of time that they spend attending rescues, on other activities including training, fundraising and getting involved with their local communities”

“The breadth of work that teams do, really is testament to their versatility. They are a vital part of our communities in multiple ways”

This year’s Annual Review reflects another exceptionally busy year the mountain rescue teams have experienced and the huge and varied work carried out by teams and the wider impact they have on the communities they serve.
