Our Costs

Môn-SAR is funded entirely by charitable donations.

What does it cost to keep the Team running 24 hours a day and 365 days a year?

It costs around £15,000 per year to keep the team running. 

This includes:

  • Keeping our three vehicles on the road
  • Team insurance
  • Licences for specialist software used to plan and manage searches
  • Mandatory Search and Rescue organisational subscriptions
  • Training our volunteer members
  • Maintaining and replacing essential kit and equipment

Our volunteers do not receive expenses or benefits. They provide their own personal kit including weatherproof clothing, walking boots, torches and rucksacks.
