Avon and Somerset Search and Rescue (ASSAR) provides essential search, cliff, swift water rescue services, and casualty care across the Avon and North Somerset counties (over 1,800 km²). Operating under Avon and Somerset Police, we support the region as part of the Local Resilience Forum, working closely with South West Ambulance Service, Hazard Area Response Teams, Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue, the Coastguard, and other mountain rescue teams.
ASSAR is a completely voluntary organisation that relies entirely on public donations to respond 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We and the people we help really appreciate your support.
