Cornwall Morris Minor Club Donates £300 to East Cornwall Search and Rescue Team

Classic Car Club’s £300 Gift Helps Keep Rescuers Ready

A generous donation from a well-known Cornish car club is helping support life-saving work across Cornwall.

Donation Supports Vital Rescue Work

The Cornwall Morris Minor Club has donated £300 to East Cornwall Search & Rescue Team, recognising the group’s ongoing work across Bodmin Moor, rural communities, and the wider East Cornwall area.

The team provides an inland search and rescue service for lost, missing and injured people, operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is made up entirely of volunteers and relies on public support to remain operational.

According to the team, every penny raised goes directly towards essential equipment, training, and maintaining operational readiness.

Every penny raised goes straight to the frontline, helping to fund essential equipment, training, and operational readiness.”

The team also shared their appreciation:

“A heartfelt thank you to all members of the Cornwall Morris Minor Club for choosing to support our team this year. Your kindness keeps us moving, keeps us equipped, and ultimately helps keep our community safe.”
