North East Wales Search and Rescue has marked Welsh Charities Week by paying tribute to the volunteers who support emergency services across the region.

In a message shared on social media, the charity said its team is made up entirely of volunteers who are on call day and night to assist in searches for vulnerable and missing people.

“It’s Welsh Charities Week,” the charity said. “This week we’re celebrating the incredible charities that make a difference across Wales — including the volunteers who give their time to help keep our communities safe.”

The organisation said every callout, training session and hour given was powered by community support.
