Volunteers from North East Wales Search and Rescue were called to three separate incidents on Saturday, including a leg injury at Wepre Park in Connah’s Quay.

North Wales Police and the Welsh Ambulance Service can call out the team following a 999 call from a member of the public.

As well as the Wepre Park callout, NEWSAR responded to a back injury on Moel Famau and assisted a person stuck at Trevor Rocks on the same day.

The team says a full summary of the three callouts will follow.

While some volunteers were out on operations, others attended a Chairs and Trustees Day on Saturday, with a communications training day held on Sunday.

NEWSAR is a volunteer rescue team operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week across Flintshire, Denbighshire, Wrexham and parts of Conwy and Powys.

Founded in 1981 as the Clwyd Rescue Team, the organisation is a registered charity affiliated with the North Wales Mountain Rescue Association.

It costs around £30,000 a year to run the team, funded entirely through donations, grants and fundraising.
