Support

We can’t do what we do without your suppport


We don’t charge a fee for our services, meaning that we rely on sponsors and donations from the community to keep operating. Each of our members donates hundreds of hours of their own time each year. We’re grateful to the employers of our members who allow them to take paid leave to respond to incidents during working hours.

Training and equipping our members are our major expenses. We rely on donations, grants from charitable entities and fundraising to ensure our members are properly equipped and don’t have to personally fund essential training costs. Your support and donations enable our groups to be equipped for the rugged environments and weather they face while searching or rescuing the lost, or missing, or injured.

Our Sponsors


Thank you to all the amazing organisations that support LandSAR Wellington. Without your help we would not be as well equipped for searches and we would not be as well trained to respond. Your contributions matter and make a difference in saving lives!
