The Charity has over 1,000 life members, including well known local politicians and celebrities.  To become a life member and support our work costs only £10.

Our history

The charity is based in the village of Pidley and was originally founded over 30 years ago.  The village of Pidley is on the edge of the Fens in Huntingdonshire, and is at its highest only 88 ft above sea level.  The charity’s name was created when a local villager’s car broke down on the slope leading to the village.  His charitable rescuers pushed the car up the ‘mountain’ home.  Revived in 1999 the Team made over 150 rescues from 1999-2010 and raises £15,000 annually, averaging 12-15 rescues each year.
