SEBEV Ref: 310311-1

Lynn Davies, wife of SEBEV member Simon will be running the London Marathon this month in aid of SEBEV Search & Rescue.

Lynn says “I am running the London Marathon to raise the profile of SEBEV and the Association of Lowland Search and Rescue, I also want to raise as much as possible to enable them to continue their invaluable work. My target is to complete the race in under 3:40”

Lynn went on to say “Completing the 26.22 miles is not much compared to the amount of miles that SEBEV members cover in a typical year with their training and search operations“

Berkshire based SEBEV Search & Rescue is a UK registered charity (no. 1046861) and has been providing services to the Berkshire and Thames Valley communities since 1980. They are the oldest lowland Search & Rescue team in the UK. The main functions of the team are to assist Thames Valley Police in the search for missing persons (such as children and the elderly) in Berkshire and the surrounding counties, and also to provide support for the local authorities and the statutory emergency services during civil emergencies in the area. The team, based at Easthampstead Park in Wokingham, is available 24 hours a day to search for missing persons. The team is made up wholly of unpaid volunteers who manage their time with search & rescue around work and family commitments.

SEBEV Search & Rescue is always recruiting for operational members and also admin support roles such as PR or fundraising that would suit somebody who wants to be involved but doesn’t want to be a fully operational Search Technician. Full training is given and the team meets at their HQ on the Wokingham/Bracknell border every Thursday evening.
