Buxton Mountain Rescue Team wishes to say a public “Thank You” to Penny and Andy Chapman of Buxton’s High Street News.

Penny and Andy have been great supporters of the rescue team and have hosted a B.M.R.T. charity collection box on the counter of their shop for five years.   The collection box has raised £1,250 over the years in contributions from customers and friends.  Now they are leaving the business and Buxton Mountain Rescue Team wants to acknowledge their personal help and the generosity of the people of Buxton people who have given so much.   Buxton M.R.T. was pleased to grant the couple a Certificate of Appreciation for their work and support.

As a small charity, collection boxes in shops and similar establishments are of major importance to the volunteers of rescue team.  It is only with the continued support of local people who are kind enough to host collection boxes or raise other funds that the team can continue to provide its community service.  If anyone thinks they could host a collection box then the rescue team would be very pleased to hear from them.  Please contact the team on treasurer@buxtonmountainrescue.org.uk or call 01298 812232 to leave a message.

Many thanks to Penny and Andy for their great work and we wish them very best wishes and good luck in their planned retirement
