The Bowland and Pennine Mountain Rescue Team were delighted to receive a generous donation from St Michael’s on Wyre lodge recently of £1000.00.
The charity receives no funding other than charitable donations from individuals and local groups and with running costs in excess of £40,000 p.a. and dealing with 40 to 50 call outs each year, every penny is gratefully received.
The picture shows team members being presented with the donation.
