Brecon Mountain Rescue Team Saving lives in wild and remote places

https://www.justgiving.com/breconmrt/donate We are also trained to search safely alongside flowing water.

Brecon Mountain Rescue Team is an emergency service staffed entirely by volunteers and funded by donation. We operate principally in mid Wales, working from the Brecon Beacons National Park north to Machynlleth, from the Welsh borderland westward, through mid Wales, to the Ceredigion coast. Our work is not restricted to mountain and wilderness search and rescue for climbers and hill walkers: our s

kills are also deployed by the police to search for vulnerable or missing persons in the community where we can employ our specialist medical and rescue techniques.

A packed sell out concert held at Henderson Hall Talybont on 21st May was thoroughly enjoyed by the public audience.
The very talented musicians from the Royal Marines Military Band really brought the house down with their superb musical attributes.
The fundraising evening was in aid of Brecon Mountain Rescue Team. It was organised between the Outdoor Leadership Training Centre in Talybont (Lt James Batchelor) and Henderson Hall committee.
Brecon Mountain Rescue Team are extremely grateful to Lt J Batchelor and the OLTC, Henderson Hall committee, the magnificent military band and the public who supported this brilliant night of entertainment.
It is estimated that total funds raised for our voluntary search & rescue team will be around £2,900.00.

“Mwynhawyd cyngerdd lle'r oedd pob tocyn wedi’i werthu yn Neuadd Henderson, Tal-y-bont ar yr 21ain o Fai yn fawr iawn gan y gynulleidfa. Roedd y cerddorion dawnus dros ben o Fand Milwrol y Royal Marines wir wedi gwefreiddio pawb gyda'u doniau cerddorol gwych.
Pwrpas y noson oedd codi a***n er budd Tîm Achub Mynydd Aberhonddu. Fe'i trefnwyd rhwng y Ganolfan Hyfforddi ar gyfer Arwain yn yr Awyr Agored yn Nhal-y-bont (Lefftenant James Batchelor) a phwyllgor Neuadd Henderson.
Mae Tîm Achub Mynydd Aberhonddu yn hynod ddiolchgar i'r Lefftenant J Batchelor a’r Ganolfan Hyfforddi, pwyllgor Neuadd Henderson, y band milwrol ysblennydd a'r cyhoedd a gefnogodd y noson wych hon o adloniant. Amcangyfrifir y bydd y gwaith o godi a***n ar gyfer ein tîm chwilio ac achub gwirfoddol oddeutu £2,900.00.”

21/05
The team were alerted by Dyfed-Powys Police to a group of walkers from a university group in the Pen y fan area, who were disoriented and one member of the group was suffering from a medical condition. With a two team approach, working with our colleagues from Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team, we located the walkers and got them safely off the hill and were assessed by our team Remote Rescue Technicians. They were very grateful for the help and were glad to be off the hill safely.

Cafodd y tîm wybod gan Heddlu Dyfed-Powys am griw o gerddwyr, aelodau o grŵp prifysgol, a oedd wedi mynd ar gyfeiliorn yn ardal Pen y Fan. Roedd un o’r criw yn dioddef â chyflwr meddygol hefyd. Gan ddefnyddio dull dau dîm o weithio gyda’n cydweithwyr o dîm y Bannau Canolog, daethom o hyd i’r cerddwyr a’u cludo oddi ar y bryn yn ddiogel a’u hasesu gan ein tîm o Dechnegwyr Achub o Bell. Roedd y criw yn ddiolchgar dros ben am y cymorth ac yn falch iawn o fod wedi dod oddi ar y bryn yn ddiogel. "

We have some wonderful supporters who raise essential funds for our voluntary search & rescue team. This can range from clubs, organisations, businesses and many individual members of the public.
Zoe Mathias is one such supporter and being a local amateur photographer produced a splendid calendar to raise funds for us. Her great efforts resulted in donating the proceeds of sales, amounting to £260.00.
Thank you Zoe for this brilliant support

Mae gennym gefnogwyr ardderchog sy’n codi a***n hanfodol ar gyfer ein tîm chwilio ac achub gwirfoddol. Gall hyn amrywio o glybiau, sefydliadau a busnesau i unigolion sy’n aelodau o’r cyhoedd.

Mae Zoe Mathias yn un o’r cefnogwyr hynny a chan ei fod yn ffotograffydd amatur lleol fe gyhoeddodd galendr arbennig er mwyn codi a***n i ni. Yn sgil ei hymdrechion i werthu’r calendr codwyd £260.00 a gyfrannwyd tuag at yr achos.

Diolch Zoe am y gefnogaeth wych hon

There is still an active wildfire in the Central Beacons area of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) and we ask everyone to be aware of any further visiting advice issued by the fire service.

We would like to extend our thanks to the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service for their work in managing the situation and working with our ranger team to develop a fire suppression plan which reduced the risk of the fire spreading further.

Over the past 2 years, five wonderful people (Hayley Ridge-Evans; Fiona Williams: Ann Mathias; Mahadev Thapa & Sita Gaha) have raised £10,000 for various Nepalese charities and schools - with a variety of fundraising events across Brecon.  In response, the recipients in Nepal wanted to thank them for their support and asked that they donate some back to a Brecon charity!

We are so grateful that Brecon Mountain Rescue Team was chosen, and we were delighted to accept the fantastic donation of £1,500.

Dros y ddwy flynedd ddiwethaf, mae pump o bobl hynod iawn (Hayley Ridge-Evans; Fiona Williams: Ann Mathias; Mahadev Thapa a Sita Gaha) wedi codi £10,000 ar gyfer amrywiol elusennau ac ysgolion yn Nepal drwy gynnal llawer o ddigwyddiadau codi a***n ledled Aberhonddu. Mewn ymateb, roedd y sawl a dderbyniodd yr a***n yn Nepal eisiau diolch iddyn nhw am eu cymorth ac wedi gofyn a oedd modd rhoi rhywfaint o’r a***n yn ôl i elusen yn Aberhonddu!

Rydym yn ddiolchgar dros ben mai Tîm Achub Mynydd Aberhonddu oedd yr elusen a ddewiswyd, ac roeddem wrth ein bodd o dderbyn rhodd o £1,500.
