SARA’s Tewkesbury station formed in June 2008 and is currently located at the Gloucestershire Water Rescue Centre, alongside Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service. The crew moved during September 2011 when Tewkesbury Community Fire Station became the new Gloucestershire Water Rescue Centre, following a two-year stay at Basepoint Business Centre. The new centre is a joint agency project to provide a greater level of local resilience for all water related incidents. The combined resources of SARA and GFRS ensure the area is better prepared for future water rescue and large scale flooding responses.

The station houses two SARA inshore rescue boats, SARA 6 and SARA 11, alongside a Land Search / Boat Haulage vehicle MRU 3, in addition to GFRS assets.  SARA Tewkesbury has Rescue Boat, Land Search and Swiftwater Search and Rescue Teams on standby 24/7 365. 

Tewkesbury is currently recruiting new crew members!
We are especially looking for experienced boat crew to join the team, but if you fancy a challenge and would like to join us please get in touch! No experience is needed as full training will be provided. We also need SOS (Supporters of SARA) members, who help with a large number of tasks related to our work, this is open to anyone interested in volunteering in a Search and Rescue environment, in a charity support capacity or in fundraising activities.
