Surrey Search and Rescue is a non-profit Lowland search and rescue team based in Surrey, United Kingdom that provides Search and Rescue capabilities to the Surrey Police. In common with most UK SAR teams, SurSARs members are all unpaid volunteers. The team was accepted as a registered charity in England and Wales in October 2011〔(Charities Commission )〕 . The organisation was originally set-up in 2010 by Tim Rowsell〔(This is Surrey | VOLUNTEERS are needed to join a team that searches for missing people )〕 as a volunteer team to provide Search and Rescue assistance to Surrey Police following an appeal by Simon Jeffs and Kris Manning to form "(lets form) a SAR team in Surrey" on Facebook. During the first six months of 2011 the unit started to take shape and quickly acquired provisional status to join the Association of Lowland Search and Rescue Teams (ALSAR)〔http://www.alsar.org.uk/about-alsar/member-units Association of Lowland Search and Rescue〕 and Lowland Search Dogs (LSDOGS)〔(Lowland Search Dogs (LSDOGS) )〕 With six operational Search and Rescue Dogs they were approved full membership to LSDogs. During this time the unit was involved in eight searches including the search for missing Sian O'Callaghan from Swindon.〔(BBC News - Missing Swindon woman last seen leaving nightclub )〕〔(Locals turn out in force to search for missing Wiltshire woman | UK news | The Guardian )〕 In September 2011 a further search dog qualified at the National Assessments, and the unit had now assisted in over 50 searches across the country. Further into the winter the unit had a further dog qualify along with a further 12 search technicians qualify 〔(Dorking Volunteers join Surrey Search and Rescue )〕 to bring the unit up to 38 volunteers. By the end of 2011 the unit had also seen the number of call outs rise to over 60 for the year. On Sunday 8 January 2012 Surrey Search and Rescue were successfully assessed and granted complete membership to ALSAR.〔http://www.alsar.org.uk/about-alsar/member-units Association of Lowland Search and Rescue〕 ==Fundraising== Due to the unit's voluntary status the unit relies 100% on donations from the public and local businesses. As well as local support in June 2011 the team was awarded a Lottery Grant for £8657.〔(Big Lottery Fund )〕〔http://news.biglotteryfund.org.uk/pr_070611_south_east_community_groups_make_beeline_912k_grants?regioncode=-uk&status=theProg&title=South%20East%20community%20groups%20make%20beeline%20for%20%EF%BF%BD912k%20in%20grants)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Surrey Search and Rescue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
