A rescue and response team is currently on the lookout for new recruits as it looks to expand.

North Cumbria Rescue & Response (NCRR) announced that they will be holding a recruitment day on Sunday October 17 at Botcherby Community Centre in Carlisle.

There will be two sessions running on the day - one will be at 10am and the other will be at 1pm, which will last about three hours.

The organisation is looking for individuals that would like to be part of the Water Search and Rescue and Land-based Search and Rescue operational team.

They are also keen to recruit members to the Operational Support team who can organise and run fundraising events, help the development and management of the Charity and provide assistance to the operational team at events and training days.
