The Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation (PDMRO) is a UK registered charity which was formed in 1964.
The purpose of PDMRO is "to save life and alleviate distress, primarily in Upland and Mountain areas".
This is achieved by conducting search and rescue missions for walkers, climbers and missing persons in and around the Peak District National Park.
[1] The PDMRO is an affiliation of the seven member Mountain Rescue Teams (MRT) which cover the Peak District.
