On Thursday 26 June 2025 – our talk is – Cheshire Search and Rescue

Liam Bagley will tell us about the vital lifesaving work that the volunteers of the Cheshire Search and Rescue Team do across the 904 square miles of Cheshire.

They assist Cheshire Police with searches for vulnerable missing people and the North-West Ambulance Service in reaching and extracting patients from remote and difficult areas.

Cheshire boasts more waterways than many counties and the team therefore has a significant waterborne capability with powerboat and flood response teams.

Liam will discuss the origins of the team, the functions, the training, the equipment used and give us an insight and understanding into the complexity of searching for missing people who are in desperate circumstances.
