Over Christmas at Syngenta Huddersfield, our @unitetheunion members could choose a small gift, or donate the equivalent to charity.
Together, our people raised £1.5k for @Focus4Hope, @HVMRT and @YorkshireAirAmb, which Syngenta proudly matched to £3k.

To mark #VolunteersWeek2025 @HVMRT are highlighting some of our team members. Here’s Dr. Greg, one of our last training cohort, who is our new deputy Medical Officer. One of around 60 unpaid, highly-trained volunteers in our team.

Happy #StDavidsDay to all our Cymraeg colleagues across Mountain Rescue England & Wales 🏴. HVMRT has always sought to foster closer bonds between MRTs across the MREW organisation, and in Scotland. Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus.

Two back to back training sessions today for @HVMRT, again simulating a call out, to treat and extricate a casualty who had fallen from height. Snow, wind and bitterly cold temperatures really tested our mettle.
Cold, windy, and wet, but a great insight to the mechanics of a full team call out. Four exercise casualties located and treated.
**EXERCISE CALL OUT***
HVMRT shall be heading out from our #Marsden base on an exercise call out, designed to replicate at call out scenario, to practice drills and show our new recruits what happens on a “job”.
You may see heightened activity in the Holme and Colne Valleys.

@HVMRT were called out for the 8th time in 2025, yesterday, when we assisted @YorksAmbulance with a casualty near Hartshead, Kirklees. Having injured their leg in a difficult to reach spot, our personnel and medics joined YAS paramedics to treat and extricate the casualty. 1/2

As ever, the community spirit was invaluable, with a local farmer assisting with his quad bike, and a colleague from @woodheadrescue arriving to bolster numbers. The casualty was brought to the waiting #Ambulance for treatment and onward progress to hospital. 2/2

Today, @XscapeYorkshire, @HVMRT had a great time meeting the public at our stall. Shortly before packing away, we were made aware of an accident outside, which two of our Remote Rescue Medics and other team members attended. 1/3
A teenage girl had come off a playground ride, hurting her neck in the impact. Whilst medics treated her, an off duty @YorksAmbulance Paramedic offered to help. The girl was warmed up, immobilised and treated for pain, later being transferred to an attending #Ambulance. 2/3
