Everyone in LONSAR dedicates a lot of personal time in training to national standards and attending callouts. Our Navigation Lead, Al is taking his training to another level and running the 2022 London Marathon to raise much needed funds for our charity.

We were tasked on Friday 5 March, to support the Met Police in the search for Sarah Everard. We always search with the hope of a successful outcome, and we are sad to learn that this time it was not the case. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Sarah's family& friends

"Why does London need a Search & Rescue Team?" It's a question I get asked a lot when telling people about @LONDONSARUK and the work we do. Check out the feature Crimewatch Roadshow did on us earlier today..... londonsar.com/post/crimewatc… londonsar.com
