Here at Herdy, we are thrilled to announce the success of our recent fundraising initiative in support of the Lake District Search and Mountain Rescue Association (LDSAMRA). Thanks to your incredible support, we raised an impressive £2,541 through sales of our special edition 'Mountain Rescue' Ewe Tube.
We were delighted to hear from Nick Owen, a representative from LDSAMRA, who shared just how much this support means to their teams. “We’re incredibly thankful to Herdy and everyone who supported this fundraiser. The money raised will go towards helping all the mountain rescue teams across the Lake District. As a service run solely on donations, this support is essential for us to continue our work”.
LDSAMRA is a vital lifeline in the Lake District, comprising 12 volunteer teams and over 400 skilled individuals who respond to emergency calls 24/7, 365 days a year. From maintaining rescue vehicles to ensuring top-notch training and equipment, the funds raised will directly support their lifesaving work.
Sally Proctor, our Social and Communications Manager said. “We’ve had such a positive response from our customers about the Mountain Rescue Ewe Tube. It’s a great design with a practical message, and it’s heartwarming to see how many people care about supporting our incredible mountain rescue teams. We’re really proud to contribute to their essential work.”
The Mountain Rescue Ewe Tube features 'Mountain Rescue' Herdy, doing his bit to help keep the Lake District safe. Made from soft and comfy fabric, this versatile accessory is perfect for adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you use it as a snood, headband, or bandana, it’s a fun and functional way to celebrate the outdoors. Better yet, with £1.50 from every Ewe Tube sold going directly to LDSAMRA, it’s a purchase that makes a difference.
The Lake District is a place of breathtaking beauty, attracting millions of visitors every year. However, its rugged terrain can also present significant challenges, making the work of LDSAMRA’s volunteer teams essential. With no government funding, the organisation relies entirely on donations to continue its amazing work.
We’re immensely proud of the Mountain Rescue Ewe Tube fundraiser and the money raised. Not only has it raised vital funds for these everyday heroes, but it has also helped shine a spotlight on the incredible work they do.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who purchased a Mountain Rescue Ewe Tube and joined us in supporting the fantastic teams at LDSAMRA.
