"Our primary role is to assist in locating lost or missing vulnerable people within Surrey and its surrounding areas".

Surrey SAR is entirely reliant on sponsorship and donations to exist and carry out its work.

Why Warren got involved in SAR

In 2010 Warren was looking for an interesting way to help the community after spending a few years in the emergency services.

Warren’s most memorable success?

"Passing Zazu’s Level Two assessment and then getting a callout straight after.  That was a very long but awesome day”
