These demonstrate the amazing work that CRO does, and why we must show them our upmost support. About Us We are a group of students from Settle College, and together we decided that our report should be on Cave Rescue. We came to this decision by looking at the amazing work that the Cave Rescue do, learning that they are a charity run by volunteers and funded purely by donations. Their work is life saving and we believe they deserve all the recognition that they can get! The Cave Rescue do a lot of their work in areas around Settle, so we thought that the Cave Rescues brilliant work is very relevant to people in this area, and saw BBC School Report as a great opportunity to raise awareness and support for the CRO. We plan on raising money ourselves to show our support. About Cave Rescue The Cave Rescue are based in a village in North Yorkshire called Clapham. They provide the cave and mountain rescue service in the Three Peaks area of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and also extend to Lancashire and Cumbria and eastwards as far as Malham and Gordale. The CRO normally undertakes over 50 incidents per year, the majority of which are to help walkers in the Yorkshire Dales. It is also one of the UKs most specialist rescue teams, and they often have to work in challenging conditions. Previous Awards In 2010 the Cave rescue were awarded the Queens award for voluntary service. This was on their 75th anniversary, for providing cave and mountain rescue services in the local community. The award was the equivalent of an MBE for voluntary organisations. Team members of CRO also received the Queens jubilee medal for the hardwork and dedication over the years.
