Alan Pewsey, Fundraising Officer for the team of volunteers who cover Dartmoor National Park and across Devon said “We are very grateful to Gidleigh Park and its diners for supporting us as their monthly charity during November. We rely on the general public for around 92% of our funding, and without this wonderful support from businesses such as Gidleigh Park, we would be unable to continue to provide our service to those who need it, not just on Dartmoor but across Devon.”

Assisting Devon and Cornwall Police

 
The team of 60 volunteers have been called upon 29 times so far this year by the Police to assist in search and rescues as Alan explained. “We get called by The Police, not just for those who get lost or injured on the moor, but also frequently called to search for the more vulnerable members of our community such as dementia and Alzheimers sufferers in rural and urban areas, and we will be on call 24×7 throughout the Christmas period to provide our service should it be needed.”
Alan and team colleague Dave Underhill, accepted a cheque from Gidleigh Park General Manager Scott Andrews and Reception Manager Sally Ruth. Scott said “We support local good causes throughout the year and are very pleased to make this donation to the Dartmoor Search & Rescue team at Ashburton. The hotel is situated in a stunning part of the National Park which means our guests are frequently tempted to explore all that Dartmoor has to offer. Its reassuring to know that should a problem arise, the men and women of DSRT Ashburton are on hand to help.”
