On 22nd September 2018 a team of dedicated crew members from SARA Wyre Forest Rescue Station will be taking on a 10km extreme obstacle race (https://xrunner.co.uk) to help raise much needed funds for our charity.

The crew are busy preparing for the 6 mile grueling, muddy obstacle course around their existing training and operational commitments. If you would like to show your support and help keep our rescue station operational please donate securely via out JustGiving link HERE.   

100% of donations go towards keeping our organisation running as every single member is a volunteer.

Thank you.

Wow!

We have been overwhelmed by your response to our Operational recruitment morning on Saturday 28th April. Due to high demand, we have now closed this session. We will be contacting all candidates who have expressed an interest in the next 24 hours.

This note refers only to operational roles, we are still actively recruiting for Supporters of SARA (SOS), so please get in touch (HERE) with us if you have some spare time to help us fundraise and run events.

Thank you to everyone that has responded and please keep an eye on our page for any future operational recruitment activity

In March 2016 Severn Area Rescue Association - Wyre Forest Station tragically lost a friend and colleague in a traffic collision.

Stuart Frost (callsign W26) was a popular and dedicated volunteer crew member in our rescue family. Stuart will always be remembered. To keep his memory alive, we recently undertook a training exercise on the rescue boat SARA 26 ‘Stuart Frost’, so named in his memory. We observed a minute’s silence and reflection followed by a blue light run.

You will always be missed Stuart, but never forgotten.

On Friday 30th March, Ultimate Outdoors Merry Hill opened its doors to the crew of SARA Wyre Forest, allowing them to hold a collection to help with their much needed fundraising. On display were our hi-tech Incident Support Unit and SARA 26, the newest boat to our rescue fleet. Members of the public were able to meet the crew, ask questions and children were able to sit in our rescue boat whilst wearing some our our safety gear.

If you missed out this time we will be at Ultimate Outdoors Merry Hill again on Saturday 5th May, 10am - 3pm. Subject to operational commitments.

If you would like to support our essential work please contact us to see how you can help.

Thank you Ultimate Outdoors!
