Cockermouth Mountain Rescue Team have joined forces with a local artist, Anna Owens for a spectacular fundraising night.

The Mountain Rescue team have commissioned five original pieces of Anna’ art which will be auctioned at a fundraising night at our base.

If you would like the opportunity to own one of these great paintings, head down to our base on Saturday, November 30, at 7:30pm and join the auction.

The compact oil on canvass paintings (measuring 20cm x 20cm) depict five of the iconic fells in the Team’s area and are mountains where CMRT frequently find themselves on rescues, searches or training scenarios.

With kind permission of the artist, the paintings are also being used for a print run of greetings cards, which we hope will continue to generate essential funds enabling the Team to continue their crucial voluntary work in rescuing those in the Lorton, Ennerdale, Loweswater and Buttermere valleys and fells.

Cockermouth Mountain Rescue, like the others in the county, is a charity and relies on volunteers giving their time along with donations from the public.
