North East Wales Search and Rescue are incredibly proud of our colleagues Becky and Iain Ashcroft who have both been awarded MBEs for their decades of service with NEWSAR.

They received their honours from Prince William at an investiture at Windsor Castle on 11 March, recognising more than 60 years of combined volunteering in mountain rescue.

Thought to be the first husband-and-wife mountain rescue volunteers to receive MBEs together, Becky and Iain said they were “honoured and humbled.” They emphasised the award reflects the dedication of volunteers and partner emergency services across the UK.
