A familiar site on Macclesfield's Tegg's Nose, Shutlingsloe and Shining Tor, Buxton Mountain Rescue are based in Dove Holes but cover a vast geographic area.

A recent rescue included saving someone who jumped from the waterfall at Three Shires Head near Macclesfield.

Buxton Mountain Rescue were contacted by Macclesfield Nub News for comment.

Their Fundraising Officer Adam Gatenby said: "Buxton Mountain Rescue Team operates entirely on donations from our wonderful community."

"The donation made by Easy Winning Ltd will allow our team to help preserve life in wild and remote places. 

"In the near future we are hoping to fundraise for a new vehicle to replace one of the four that we operate with.

"We would like to extend our wholehearted thanks to Charlie at Easy Winnings Ltd for his very generous donation."
