Our Sponsors

OVMRO is a volunteer organisation and depends on donations to fund its operating costs. Reducing its operating costs obviously makes donations go further.

OVMRO is grateful to the organisations below for their support in providing goods and services at discounted prices, and in some cases free of charge, to the team and team members.

	Alpkit Alpkit was founded in 2004, driven by the belief that there’s no place for elitism in the outdoors. Our motto is: “Go Nice Places, Do Good Things”. Our love of the outdoors is at the heart of everything we do, from expert product design and innovative sustainability initiatives to the community projects we help fund. Alpkit has won TGO Magazine’s Best Online Retailer Award 8 times in the last 9 years. We’re the only UK outdoor brand to sell equipment for hiking, biking, camping, climbing, running and swimming. We also make products in our own on-site factory, on the edge of the Peak District. 30% of our products are now made in the UK (according to DTI rules). https://alpkit.com
	Blizzard The Blizzard Protection products made with Reflexcell™ material is the new standard wherever thermal performance in a lightweight compact package is essential. Used extensively by the military, NHS, Mountain Rescue and HEMS Teams worldwide. Our products are also ideal for personal survival, outdoor activities, to prevent and treat hypothermia. https://www.blizzardsurvival.com
	Fenix We are proud to be able to supply OVMRO with the specialist lighting equipment they need to ensure they can do their life-saving work – 24/7, 365 days a year. With the latest technology, we provide the team tough, lightweight, reliable lights that are more than bright enough to search for those in need – throughout the night and in the toughest of conditions. https://www.myfenix.co.uk
	Helix Helix Operations Ltd provides a complete capability for vertical access and rescue in mountain and remote environments. We provide rescue solutions, equipment, systems and training to enable operators to work with speed, ease, and safety when accessing objectives in mountainous environments. The capability offered by our close relationship with DMM has been extended by partnering with manufacturers such as Petzl, CMC, Rock Exotica, Ferno, MedSled and Harken. Our team has a significant number of years’ experience operating in both civilian and Royal Air Force Mountain Rescue Teams both on rescues and delivering training. https://helixoperations.com/rescue
	Joe Brown The Joe Brown shops are extremely proud of our long-standing support of the Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation and very much appreciate the time, commitment and expertise all of the volunteers involved offer in rescues throughout the mountains and valleys surrounding the Ogwen Valley, Glyderau, Carneddau and surrounding areas in northern Eryri (Snowdonia). Our shops in Capel Curig and Llanberis provide the very best in technical clothing and equipment as well as online advice via the Joe Brown Outdoor Academy for customers to enjoy the mountains safely. https://www.climbers-shop.com/

Note: OVMRO does not endorse or recommend products or services of one organisation over another but only uses those that are up to the demands of mountain rescue activities. Also, OVMRO does not allow its name or logo to be used to support any commercial activity other than, with written permission, fundraising for the team.
