Partnerships

Community partnerships

Through active involvement and working with the community, Upper Hutt Community Rescue (UHCR) strengthens our  ties with professional emergency services and community groups.

Search and rescue

UHCR attends search and rescue regional exercises, sharing skills and developing our knowledge with other rescue teams in the region.

Professional multi agency training

Through our established links, UHCR participates in numerous exercises with professional emergency services, focusing on support and logistical roles as well as rescue and response.

Grants

Without the support of grants and funding from local community organisations and trusts, we wouldn’t be fortunate to have the equipment we have today.

Through their generosity we have been able to purchase vehicles and equipment to use at community events and when on rescue-related deployments and activities.

Our thanks go to:

  • Community Trust of Wellington
  • Fonterra Grass Roots
  • Hutt Mana Charitable Trust

Sponsors and supporters

Upper Hutt Community Rescue (UHCR) is grateful for the support of its sponsors within the community. If it wasn’t for the generosity of these people and businesses, we wouldn’t be able to provide the community with the level of support we do.
