Charitable objects
The objects of the CIO are:
• to provide a search and rescue service for people who are lost, injured or endangered regardless of the circumstances in which their need arises;
• to provide appropriate medical care to mitigate further harm, injury or distress to such people;
• to provide appropriate support to the statutory emergency services during severe weather and other resilience events; and
• to provide these services particularly in rural upland areas but also in semi-rural and urban environments primarily in the counties of Northumberland and Tyne & Wear (as defined in 2020) but in the wider North East region and further afield if requested by another mountain rescue team.
