Callouts Update:![]()
2026, you’ve certainly had us busy so far. ![]()
As at today, day 11 of the year, we’ve received 15 requests for help and deployed team members to 10 of those. ![]()

The majority of calls we’ve received have been to the Pen y Fan area of the Central Bannau Brycheiniog - Brecon Beacons - National Park which is unsurprising given the continuation of the full-on winter mountain conditions we’ve been experiencing, although calls to other locations across our South East Wales area have continued as well; the Waterfalls Country & the Rhondda Valley have had visits from us.![]()

You may have read in other articles that some members have suffered some verbal abuse during one of the incidents. We understand how frustrating it can become to people when we’re doing what we’re called out to do but we ask, please remember that we are all volunteers and just trying our best to help those in need. ![]()
Please, Be kind, Always.![]()

Last year’s demand on our services shows no sign of letting up so far this year. We’re obviously happy and proud to do what we do and in doing so we give thanks again to team members’ families and friends as we continue to disappear out the door, sometimes multiple times a day. ![]()
