REST UK Missions

Welcome to the REST UK missions page.

Since it's inception in 2002 the team have been on standby to respond to disaster and humanitarian emergencies, as the UK’s only Response Emergency Stress Team for rescue workers.

In November 2007, REST UK responded to supporting rescue workers at the scene of the factory fire disaster at Atherstone, Warwickshire, which tragically claimed the lives of 4 Warwickshire fire-fighters.

In addition, REST UK supports international efforts at disaster preparation and regularly attends operational exercises with both USAR and UKFSSART (UK Fire Service Search and Rescue Team) including an annual 3-day exercise at Fort Widley in Hampshire

All members of REST UK are volunteers and qualified massage therapists.

Members have also participated in training missions in situations where disaster threatens.
