Westport Land Search and Rescue (LandSAR) is a group of trained volunteers who give up their time to rescue people who are lost, injured or missing, across the West Coast.

We are available 24/7 to search in urban, rural and wilderness areas for anyone from an injured tramper or lost wilderness adventurer, to a missing child or wandering dementia patient.

We are a not-for-profit organisation, affiliated to LandSAR NZ, with a history of rescuing people since our first recorded rescue of a shot hunter over the Christmas to New Year period of 1949-1950.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
