Foreword by<br />
Colonel NCT Millen<br />
Commander Catterick Garrison<br />
Welcome to Catterick Garrison, the largest Garrison in the British Army.<br />
The area around the Garrison has much to offer. On your doorstep is the Yorkshire<br />
Dales and the North Yorkshire Moors. The sea is about an hour’s drive away and<br />
it takes about one and a half hours to reach the Lake District. Also within an hour’s<br />
drive is Newcastle with the Metro Centre, Leeds and the historic cities of Durham and<br />
York. Closer to home are the towns of Darlington, Thirsk and Northallerton, all of<br />
which have large shopping centres. Picturesque Richmond is the nearest small town<br />
and is two and half miles from Catterick.<br />
The centre of Catterick Garrison is being developed in an exciting way. You can<br />
take advantage of the Further Education facilities available at the Darlington<br />
College. A Tesco supermarket, a McDonald’s, Boots and other shops were opened<br />
at Richmondshire Walk in 2000 and the Aldi discount store was opened in the Town<br />
Centre in May 2005. Further improvements across the Garrison are ongoing; of<br />
particular note being the comprehensive Sports and Leisure Centre which was opened<br />
in the Summer of 2009, and is now a great success. Furthermore, we have an<br />
aspiration to provide more retail and leisure opportunities: it’s set to get better still!!<br />
I place great emphasis on the provision of high quality welfare services and amenities<br />
for the Garrison. The Army Welfare Service constantly strives to improve the services<br />
available to you but needs the help and support of everyone in the Garrison to make<br />
progress. In particular, some of the services such as Youth Activities and the Thrift<br />
Shop depend heavily on volunteers just as they do in any other town. If you feel you<br />
can contribute to the wellbeing of the Garrison community, please get in touch and<br />
offer some help. It will be much appreciated.<br />
The Bi-monthly Army Welfare Service Information Magazine and the Garrison Gazette<br />
also produced every other month, supplement the information contained in this<br />
Guide. These publications are available in all units and put through the letterboxes of<br />
all families accommodation regularly. The advertisements in this Guide are a useful<br />
source of information in themselves and pay for this publication. And rememember<br />
too that the HIVE at Hipswell Lodge (and its outreach service) is a fantastic source of<br />
information for almost anything!<br />
I hope you will enjoy your time here and take pleasure in being in this beautiful part<br />
of the North of England.<br />

Army Welfare Service (AWS)<br />
The AWS provides community support, personal support and<br />
a CONFIDENTIAL social and occupational welfare support<br />
service to all single, married, regular, TA and reservist soldiers<br />
and their families. AWS Catterick provides two areas of service:<br />
Army Welfare Service<br />
Community Support. Provides a provision of services in play, youth and community<br />
work.<br />
Personal Support. Provides advice to military personnel and their families. It is a<br />
confidential service independant of the Chain of Command.<br />
Community Support<br />
Overview<br />
The AWS Catterick Community Support team consists of 1 Senior (SCDW) and 4<br />
Community Development Workers (CDW’s). All staff hold a nationally recognised<br />
Degree in Youth and Community Studies.<br />
The purpose of Community Support is to ensure individuals and families have access<br />
to fun and exciting opportunities that will be sociable, recreational, educational<br />
and responsive to need. Your Community Development Workers in the CS team will<br />
ensure provision is safe, accessible, affordable and of good quality. In Catterick you’ll<br />
most likely find your community support team, working with local service providers<br />
(such as children’s centre’s, library service, youth service or school’s), or organising<br />
local projects, activities and events in and around the community. To ensure you and<br />
your family are kept fully up to date with what’s being delivered by the Community<br />
Support team look out for the monthly ‘Stay Connected’ programme or visit the team<br />
on Facebook (www.facebook.com/AWSCatterick).<br />
For further details contact the AWS Community Development Worker team on<br />
Tel: 01748 872912 or 94731 2912<br />
Personal Support<br />
Provide a personal and confidential service for all soldiers, married, single and<br />
dependants.<br />
The Army Welfare Service staff are trained and knowledgeable. They are sympathetic<br />
to people’s needs and can give confidential support to enable Service personnel<br />
and their families to cope with the stresses and strains of Service life. The Army<br />
Welfare Service operates a strict confidentiality code; the code is fully explained in<br />
the ‘Confidentiality Code’ leaflet available from your Army Welfare Service Office.<br />
Everyone who works within The Army Welfare Service is required to fol<strong>low</strong> the<br />
confidentiality code no matter who they are. Exceptions to this are as fol<strong>low</strong>s:<br />
*** Confidentiality has to be broken only to prevent: the risk of self harm, a danger to<br />
others, a serious crime, civil or military, a breach of security or the effectiveness of a<br />
soldier being compromised in the course of their duty.<br />
We strive to provide a social and occupational welfare support service to assist with<br />
the challenges that arise in personal and Service lives.<br />
Some of the issues AWS can help with include:<br />
Relationship difficulties Post Divorce<br />
Bereavement CSA concerns<br />
Parenting skills Child care<br />
Special Needs Benefits information<br />
Housing Medical concerns

The LIFT Open Market Shared Equity Scheme<br />
WE WANT YOU…<br />
Serving armed forces personnel and recent veterans have priority for this Scottish Government<br />
scheme which can help you buy a home in Scotland.<br />
You should be able to raise between 60% to 90% of the cost of the property in mortgage and<br />
savings. The Scottish Government will hold the remaining share under a shared equity agreement<br />
that it will enter into with you.<br />
An assessment of your ability to raise finance towards the cost of buying home will be made based<br />
on an expected contribution from a mortgage and any savings you hold above a £5000 threshold.<br />
If approved, you are able to search for a home suitable for your housing need that is for sale<br />
on the open market. You can purchase a home up to a maximum price as there are threshold<br />
prices for the scheme and these prices vary depending on the size of the property and where it’s<br />
located. The property you apply for has to be suitable for your housing needs.<br />
On completion of the purchase you become a home owner just like any other. The Scottish Government’s<br />
funding is secured by way of a second charge over the property. You have the right to<br />
increase your equity stake in the future or to buy the property outright (in most areas). The price<br />
for additional equity is based on the future market value of the property. Administration charges<br />
will apply if you seek to vary the terms of the shared equity agreement.<br />
Former armed forces Mark Hill who purchased a home through the Scheme last year noted<br />
“Leaving the army after 23 years of service was pretty daunting. I had to move my family from<br />
army housing in Germany back to the UK and start civilian life. The LIFT Open Market Scheme<br />
offered us the opportunity to buy a great family home back in Scotland. The team at Link made<br />
our move as hassle free as possible.”<br />

Resettlement Advice and Assistance<br />
All personnel leaving the Services, irrespective of length of service are entitled to some<br />
form of Resettlement information, advice and guidance whether they be Early Service<br />
Leavers (ESL) or being discharged as a normal service leaver (SL). Those who have<br />
over 6 years service are also entitled to undertake funded training and have access to<br />
a civilian career consultant prior to and a civilian employment consultant after<br />
leaving the Services.<br />
The resettlement service within Catterick Garrison is provided by the Individual<br />
Education & Resettlement Officers (IEROs) in 3 AEC who conduct the<br />
Resettlement Advice Briefing (RAB) and the Regional Resettlement Centre (RRC)<br />
which is a Civilian Agency and is located next to Hipswell Lodge.<br />
All entitled Service Leavers (SLs) now receive Graduated Resettlement Time (GRT)<br />
which is apportioned according to length of service, as well as a resettlement funding<br />
grant. The resettlement process starts with the completion of a MOD Form 1173 or a<br />
JPA resettlement workf<strong>low</strong> which is then submitted by the Unit Resettlement Officer or<br />
the JPA resettlement process to the IERO in 3 AEC who is responsible for arranging<br />
a Resettlement Advice Briefing (RAB). The RAB which is mandatory for All Service<br />
Personnel, provides the SL with a comprehensive breakdown of the resettlement<br />
scheme including time available, training costs and al<strong>low</strong>ances, guidance on<br />
relevant documentation and JPA resettlement workf<strong>low</strong>s as well as an outline of the<br />
responsibilities & facilities. Information/documentation on each SL is then processed/<br />
forwarded to the RRC. The SL can then access a range of services including the<br />
Career Transition Workshop (CTW), the RRC Resources Centre, career consultancy<br />
advice and guidance for up to 2 years after discharge and employment consultancy<br />
for the rest of their working life.<br />
(The overall system is complex and time consuming and the importance of early<br />
notification of the SLs intention to leave from Unit Resettlement Officers to the IERO<br />
cannot be over-emphasised, particularly for those who are likely to be medically<br />
discharged or returning from an operational tour. It is imperative that the Junior<br />
Ranks are allocated sufficient time to make the appropriate contacts and undertake<br />
the relevant activities. For those who have completed a full engagement the process<br />
should start 2 years before Run-Out-Date.)<br />
Those SLs who do not qualify for training and funding (ie have less that 4 years but<br />
less than 6 years service) still have access to the Resettlement Warrant Officer<br />
(RWO, the 3 AEC Resettlement Resources and the IEROs if required. Depending<br />
on registration status access is still available to RRC Consultancy, the Regular Forces<br />
Employment Association (RFEA) for soldiers and the Officers Association for<br />
Officers. The RWO who also has responsibility for supporting Medical Discharge<br />
personnel can be contacted on Catterick Military 2770 or 01748 872770.<br />
Any resettlement enquires should, in the first instance, be directed to the Resettlement<br />
Clerks who can be contacted on Catterick Military 2538/2681 or 01748<br />
872538/872681.

The Army Families Federation (AFF) is an independent organisation that provides a<br />
unique two-way communications link between the British Army and its families.<br />
AFF works hard to improve the quality of life for all Army families, and ensure that<br />
they are in no way disadvantaged because they ‘fol<strong>low</strong> the flag’. AFF represents all<br />
members of a soldier’s family (including partners and families of TA and Reserve<br />
soldiers and the wider family) and is recognised as their representative voice. AFF is<br />
consulted by the military, politicians, the media and national organisations on issues<br />
concerning Army families.<br />
where to find AFF<br />
AFF can be found wherever there are Army families in the world. The hub of the<br />
network is AFF Central Office in Andover (Hampshire), and there are AFF Branches in<br />
the United Kingdom, Germany and Cyprus, with volunteers in overseas locations.<br />
AFF operates through a network of Co-ordinators who listen to and represent the<br />
views and concerns of Army families to policy makers.<br />
AFF Co-ordinators can also help families with their individual issues. They can provide<br />
advocacy for families and signpost to the best professional organisation to provide<br />
assistance.<br />
Specialists<br />
AFF employs five Specialists who each concentrate on a particular area of concern for<br />
Army families, and deal with all aspects of that subject for AFF. The areas covered by<br />
the AFF Specialists are<br />
• Education & Childcare<br />
• Foreign & Commonwealth<br />
• Health & Additional Needs<br />
• Housing<br />
• Employment &Training<br />
These Specialists represent AFF at all relevant meetings with outside agencies, and<br />
offer guidance and information to families with queries or concerns in their subject.<br />
Their contact details are:

The Journal - Army families’ own magazine<br />
AFF publishes a quarterly magazine, the Journal, which promotes communication<br />
between Army families, wherever they live, on issues which affect their lives. It is full of<br />
interesting articles and useful information, keeping families up-to-date, and includes a<br />
lively Postbag section which brings current issues to the fore. The Journal is distributed<br />
FREE to all Army families worldwide. Visit www.afj.org.uk for further information or to<br />
<strong>download</strong> back issues.<br />
Giving families the chance to ask their own questions<br />
AFF holds a biennial Families’ Conference in London (with a similar event held in<br />
Germany in the intervening years), open to all Army families. The event offers a<br />
chance to hear from and ask questions to senior military personnel, politicians and<br />
executives from relevant agencies and departments.<br />
In other Branch areas, AFF Discussion Groups and Roadshows afford families the<br />
chance to raise questions and concerns regarding their Army family life to AFF and<br />
representatives from the local chain of command and welfare support agencies.<br />

Our website is a useful source of information for all Army families and offers up-todate<br />

Many people are unaware that the majority of the staff at the Bureau are volunteers…<br />
The Bureau is always on the look out for more volunteers, especially advisers, as the<br />
more we have the more we can expand the service.<br />
If we had more advisers we would be able to extend our opening hours so that more<br />
people could use our service.<br />
We have volunteers from all ages. They join for many different reasons for work<br />
experience or just for the challenge and satisfaction of helping others.<br />

Do you, or someone you care about, have problems with drug use, alcohol or<br />
gambling.<br />
Alcohol and drug use can affect our lives in many different ways. Sometimes it feels<br />
easier to carry on drinking or using rather than face up to what is going on.<br />
Talking to somebody who understands these issues may help you begin to take<br />
control of your drinking or drug use.<br />

Learn How To Drink Properly<br />
Responsible drinking in a social context is a well-established and recognised element<br />
of the British Army’s culture of group bonding. However alcohol misuse can lead<br />
to all sorts of problems, professionally, personally and domestically. The effects of<br />
excessive drinking are severe. Not only does it impair judgement, endanger health<br />
and degrade performance; it is a major cause of ill discipline. It generates a loss of<br />
self-control, which can lead to unacceptable behaviour such as criminal violence,<br />
risky sexual activity, misuse of drugs or just acting like a complete pratt! Personnel<br />
under the influence of alcohol or suffering from a hangover cannot be relied upon<br />
to perform their duties competently. This is why the Army cannot tolerate excessive<br />
drinking. Help will be offered to those genuinely willing to reform, but those who<br />
persist in excessive drinking and do not respond to rehabilitation will be considered<br />
for discharge.<br />
When you drink, do it sensibly. Learn to identify your limit and when you reach it stop.<br />
Drink water in between alcoholic drinks to extend your evening, to keep you hydrated<br />
and to reduce your alcohol intake. When you wake up next morning you won’t have<br />
a hangover, you will be able to function properly and you won’t be on the receiving<br />
end of a caution or charge. Don’t forget it takes an hour for your body to process<br />
one unit of alcohol, so if you drink eight pints of weak beer (about 3%), that is 16<br />
units, which is 16 hours for your body to get it out of your system. 16 hours in which<br />
you will still be drunk or have a hangover and in which you cannot drive. Learn to<br />
calculate how many units you are consuming and stick to the government guidelines<br />
for men and women. The stronger the drink the more units it has in it. Learn to drink<br />
sensibly before you wake up with a hangover that won’t go away.<br />

Children’s Education in the Catterick Garrison Area<br />
Introduction<br />
Catterick Garrison and Marne Barracks are very well served by their State schools,<br />
provided through North Yorkshire Local Authority (LA). The LA provision of pre-school,<br />
primary and secondary schooling is backed up by their comprehensive support<br />
services. All of the local LA schools are, as you would expect, very experienced in the<br />
particular needs and problems of Service children and they do their utmost to meet<br />
these positively.<br />
If you need further advice on any aspect of your child’s education, do not hesitate<br />
to contact the staff at The HIVE Tel: 01748 872944 mil 94731 2944 or email:<br />
catterick@armymail.mod.uk, who will be happy to assist you further.<br />
General Information<br />
North Yorkshire Local Authority is responsible for providing adequate school provision<br />
within the Catterick area. For administrative purposes the Local Authority is broken down<br />
into four areas, each of which has its own office. Catterick falls within the Harrogate<br />
Area and the address of the Local Office can be found at the end of this section.<br />
Catterick Garrison and Marne Barracks are well served by both primary and<br />
secondary schools. In addition the Local Authority also provides comprehensive<br />
Children’s and young Peoples Services and caters for children with Special<br />
Educational Needs.<br />
Parental Choice<br />
Parents can express a choice of school where they wish their child to be educated.<br />
However, the Local Authority (LA) has named the “normal” school that serves each<br />
residential address. The schools designated to serve the Catterick Garrison and<br />
Marne Barracks Families accommodatio areas are shown later in this section. If you<br />
have any doubts as to which is the normal school serving your home address you<br />
should contact the Head Teacher of the school in your locality or the Local Education<br />
Office Telephone: 0845 0349420.<br />
If, for whatever reason, you wish to send your child to a school other than the normal<br />
school for your residential address you must apply to the Local Education Office<br />
in Harrogate. Such requests are considered only after places have been allocated<br />
to children living in the area served by your chosen school; therefore there is no<br />
guarantee that your child will be given a place at an alternative school.<br />
If you are refused your first choice of school, you will be sent details of how to appeal<br />
against this decision. This should be made by the date given by the Local Education<br />
Office. Appeals are considered by an Independent Appeals Committee, which<br />
consists of a County Councillor and two independent people.<br />
If you are housed in Darlington and would like education information for that area<br />
please contact your local HIVE on Tel: 01748 872944.<br />

Early Years Education<br />
what is Early Education?<br />
Early Education is an opportunity for all children to reach their full potential throughout<br />
the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum.<br />
OFSTED regularly inspects all Childcare Providers ensuring that they maintain<br />
Standards in all five areas of the Government Green Paper “Every Child Matters”<br />
where are places offered?<br />
Places are offered in a range of settings, these include:<br />
• Pre-schools<br />
• Private day nurseries<br />
• LA maintained nursery schools and classes<br />
• LA maintained reception classes in infant and primary schools (4 year old places only)<br />
• Independent schools<br />
In order to offer funded early education places, providers have to be registered<br />
with OFSTED, North Yorkshire Early Years Development and Childcare Partnership,<br />
specifically for the purpose of claiming Nursery Education Fund.<br />
How do I find a place?<br />
Lists of registered settings can be obtained from the Families Information Service<br />
helpline 0845 6011630 or the Families Information Service<br />
website www.nyfamilies.info<br />
Parents may choose whichever type of provision most suits their needs and is most<br />
appropriate for their child. However if all places at a particular setting are full, it may<br />
be necessary to look elsewhere. Each setting will have its own admissions policy.<br />
what is the entitlement?<br />
From September 2010 Early Education Funding is allocated for up to 15 hours per<br />
week for 38 weeks in the Academic Year. However in the line with the Government<br />
Guide-lines parental choice is of the utmost importance and these sessions can be<br />
divided through other Providers, Maintained, Non-Maintained, Voluntary or Private.<br />
Places in LA maintained schools are free.<br />
How to access a place.<br />
Parents register for Nursery Education Funding through the setting the child attends and<br />
the LA pays the grant directly to the provider. Parents will be asked to sign a Parental<br />
Declaration Form to confirm their entitlement, detail the provision they will be using and<br />
authorise the provider to make a claim on their behalf.<br />
which children are entitled to a place?<br />
Children become eligible for an early education place from the beginning of the school<br />
term fol<strong>low</strong>ing their third birthday, in line with the fol<strong>low</strong>ing dates:<br />
Children born between: Will be eligible from:<br />
1 April & 31 August The start of the autumn term<br />
fol<strong>low</strong>ing their 3rd birthday.<br />

Education Access and Inclusion<br />
The Local Education Office, aims to ensure that all children and young people in the<br />
area gain access to education that is appropriate to their individual needs.<br />
The Service carries out the fol<strong>low</strong>ing:<br />
a. Arranges school admissions, transfers, home-to-school transport and helps<br />
with attendance problems.<br />
b. Manages special education assessments, reviews and provision.<br />
c. Provides education to children who are, for whatever reason, unable to attend<br />
school.<br />
d. Works with children with special needs.<br />
e. Assesses eligibility for free school meals and clothing grants.<br />
f. Provides public information and deals with complaints and appeals.<br />
The Service exists to support you and your child, hence the above outline of what it<br />
has to offer. However, you should generally discuss any concerns about your child’s<br />
progress with his or her Headteacher in the first instance as many problems are dealt<br />
within the schools themselves.<br />
Special Educational needs<br />
A child has special educational needs if he or she has a significant learning<br />
difficulty or disability and in order to succeed in school needs educational provision<br />
additional to or different from the provision made for children of the same age. If<br />
you have concerns about your child’s progress you should first discuss them with the<br />
Headteacher as most special needs are dealt with in mainstream schools.<br />
Special Schools and Units<br />
If a child’s special needs are particularly severe or complex they may not be able<br />
to be met in ordinary schools and classes. The Local Education Authority maintain<br />
a number of schools that specialise in providing for pupils with such needs. You<br />
can obtain further details of these schools through the Local Education Office (from<br />
Children’s and Young Peoples Services). They can also provide information on<br />
independent schools that specialise in Special Educational Needs.<br />
Community special schools and resourced provision in mainstream<br />

About Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) Operations<br />
Accommodation<br />
Defence Infrastructure Organisation Operations Accommodation provides Service<br />
Family Accommodation (SFA) in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland for<br />
entitled and eligible personnel.<br />
Accommodation is provided in accordance with JSP 464-Tri-Service Accommodation<br />
Regulations (TSARs), which are available on the Defence Intranet.<br />
The DIO SFA Website (www.mod.uk/ServiceFamilyAccommodation) provides<br />
useful information such as applying for SFA, moving in and moving out; as well as<br />
useful contacts, forms and publications. In addition to the information published on<br />
the Website, there are a number of organisations who can advise on housing matters<br />
including your Unit Welfare Officer (UWO), Families Federations and the HIVE.<br />
However, DIO Ops Accommodation, or the dedicated repairs helpdesks, should be<br />
your first point of contact for specific issues relating to Service housing.<br />
who can apply for Service Family Accommodation?<br />
If you have completed your initial training, are married (or are about to be) and have<br />
at least six months to serve at your current unit, you are entitled to apply for SFA.<br />
Full details of your entitlement and eligibility can be found in JSP 464 - Tri-Service<br />
Accommodation Regulations (TSARs). Your UWO and HASC should be able to clarify<br />
specific points, should you need assistance.<br />
Managing the allocation of accommodation and moves<br />
The Housing Allocations Service Centre (HASC) allocates houses, arranges pre move<br />
outs, moves in and moves out of accommodation – contact details be<strong>low</strong>. In addition<br />
it manages any general enquiries about Service housing in England, Wales, Scotland<br />
and Northern Ireland. The HASC replaced the Housing Information Centres (HICs).<br />
Housing Officers will manage your Move In and Move Out, as well as managing the<br />
patch to ensure issues, such as fly tipping, are resolved.
Catterick Garrison 12/13<br />
Applications<br />
If you wish to apply you will need to complete and submit an application using MOD<br />
Form 1132: Application to Occupy SFA:<br />
http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/MicroSite/DIO/WhatWeDo/<br />
Accommodation/ApplyingForAndAllocationOfSfa.htm<br />
All Service personnel are expected to use the electronic version of the application<br />
form (e-1132) with the exception of personnel who do not readily have access to<br />
the Defence Intranet or who are on Operations. The e-1132 is quicker and you<br />
can track your application, although to protect your information, the e-1132 is only<br />
accessible on MOD computer systems - http://apps01.domis.r.mil.uk/e1132/<br />
If you have any special needs or requirements, it is important that you make the HASC<br />
aware of them when you make your application.<br />
Postings<br />
When you are posted you should make your new SFA application on the e-1132<br />
system or send it to the relevant HASC as soon as you receive your Assignment Order,<br />
as this will assist them in providing you with an offer well in advance of your move.<br />
If you are already in SFA, you must also notify the HASC within 14 days that you<br />
intend to vacate your present SFA. Please call the HASC to arrange a Pre-Move Out<br />
Advisory Visit, which is designed to help you identify and resolve any issues in advance<br />
of your Move Out day.<br />
Pre-Payment Cleaning Scheme<br />
A Pre Payment Cleaning Scheme (PPCS) is available to all SFA occupants in England<br />
and Wales – this is the only cleaning scheme approved by the MOD and Modern<br />
Housing Solutions.<br />
If you wish to use this voluntary scheme please contact the cleaning contractor<br />
covering your area. A representative will arrange to visit and provide you with a free,<br />
no obligation quote. This quote will be specific to your house and will reflect the<br />
amount of work required to get that particular property up to Move Out standard.<br />
Two companies provide this service and have central helpdesks manned by security<br />
cleared staff, numbers have been published be<strong>low</strong>.<br />

The Joint Service Housing Advice Office<br />
(JSHAO) – Helping you to civilian<br />
housing solutions<br />
what is the JSHAO?<br />
The JSHAO provides Service persons and their dependants with housing information<br />
and advice. We also, where possible, help you to obtain placement in social housing<br />
on leaving the Service. We can also help sevice welfare/compassionate cases and<br />
separated families from overseas to find appropriate housing on return to the UK.<br />
Helping you to civilian accommodation<br />
The JSHAO runs ‘Housing Solutions’ and “Housing Options” briefings for Service<br />
Personnel. The Solutions briefings are designed as mid career presentations to<br />
highlight the need to make early provision for your civilian housing. The ‘Housing<br />
Options’ briefs are run in Resettlement Centres in the UK and Education Centres<br />
in Germany, Cyprus and Gibraltar. These one day briefs are designed to give you<br />
the information to help you make informed choices on your civilian housing. While<br />
Housing Options are normally attended in the last 2 years of Service, any Service<br />
person and/or their partner is welcome at any stage of their Service.<br />
what information do we hold?<br />
We can obtain information and contacts for most of the UK’s social housing sector<br />
which includes council housing and housing association homes. We can provide you<br />
with pamphlets and information sheets on the multitude of different subjects regarding<br />
housing provision. Very often these days we will direct you to the appropriate web site.<br />
All this information is available to you, just call or e-mail our office.<br />
The MOD Referral Scheme<br />
The JSHAO runs the Ministry of Defence Referral scheme. This scheme may be able<br />
to help you if you are looking for housing association housing on leaving the Service.<br />
Information and an application form can be found on our website or call the office<br />
and talk to the MOD Referral Scheme Coordinator.<br />
Affordable Housing Options<br />
With house prices as high as they have been recently, lots of Service personnel express<br />
interest in schemes which share the cost of housing with some form of government<br />
backed ownership plan. HomeBuy helps successful applicants to buy their home<br />
using a government interest free loan to fund part of the property. These schemes<br />
are generically known as HomeBuy schemes. Service personnel are recognised as as<br />
having Priority Status to these schemes. For more details of the schemes and options<br />
go to the JSHAO website or speak to the team<br />
Buying your own house<br />
Buying a house is one of the most exciting things you ever do. However, it is also<br />
one of the most daunting. The JSHAO has factsheets that explain the process. We<br />
can advise on websites you will find useful to get details of properties, solicitors and<br />
surveyors. We can even point you in the right direction to help you find the right<br />
mortgage.<br />

Garrison Information<br />
Catterick Garrison<br />
History<br />
The name Catterick is derived from a fall or cataract on the Swale which runs near the<br />
Garrison. This natural feature was originally incorporated in the name of the Roman<br />
Garrison – Cataractonium the remains of which can still be seen near the Catterick<br />
racecourse.<br />
The original concept of a permanent military camp at Catterick goes back to before<br />
the First World War. The building of what is now the principal military centre in the<br />
North of England stems from recommendations made in 1908 by the General Officer<br />
Commanding the Northumbria Division, Lieutenant General Sir Robert Baden-Powell,<br />
hero of Mafeking in the South African War and founder of the Boy Scouts Movement.<br />
The actual site for the camp was selected by the Director of Fortifications and Works,<br />
Major General Sir George Scott-Moncrieff. The first huts were occupied in October<br />
1915 and the camp railway line was opened, linking the camp centre with the<br />
Richmond-Darlington line. The new ‘semi-permanent’ Training Centre was initially<br />
known as Richmond Camp but due to confusion with Richmond in Surrey it was<br />
retitled Catterick Camp in November of that year.<br />
The camp was originally designed to house two complete Divisions worth of troops<br />
– 40,000 men, though the maximum number accommodated at any time during<br />
the Great War was 42,000. Towards the end of World War 1 the role of the camp<br />
changed from being just a Training Centre to include that of a Prisoner of War Camp<br />
for up to 5,000 POWs. After the war ended the camp became a demobilisation<br />
centre, a training centre, thereafter a Command Depot and then a dump for war<br />
materials. At one time 50,000 artillery pieces and 78,000 wagons stood wheel to<br />
wheel here awaiting disposal!<br />
Fol<strong>low</strong>ing the partition of Ireland in 1921 it was decided to make Catterick a<br />
permanent Military Training Centre to replace lost facilities and a mammoth building<br />
programme was begun in 1923 and large tracts of land were purchased for training.<br />
In 1924 the Signals Training Centre STC was moved here from Maresfield in Sussex<br />
and this was the beginning of a long relationship between Royal Signals and the<br />
Garrison which has developed over the years.<br />
In the mid 1930s the Camp, as it was then called, was re-developed and many of the<br />
more substantial buildings such as the ‘Sandhurst’ Blocks and Garrison Headquarters<br />
were built. As a protection against the perceived air threat of the time the barracks<br />
complexes were dispersed and this largely accounts for the present layout of the<br />
Garrison.<br />
During the Second World War Catterick was again expanded to meet the training<br />
requirements of the war time army and as well as a divisional sized administrative<br />
headquarters commanded by a Major General there were 4 brigade size field units<br />
and training organisations based here. Again a POW camp was established in the<br />
Garrison. After the war, Catterick once more settled down to peacetime soldiering.<br />
For many years it became an important centre for the training of National Servicemen<br />
with amenities and barrack accommodation being renewed and restored.<br />
In 1955 the Signals Training Centre was re-titled the Training Brigade Royal<br />
Signals and all Royal Signals officer and soldier training took place here. In 1967<br />
the School of Signals moved to Blandford leaving behind soldier training. On 01<br />
Jan 1973 the ‘Camp’ officially became a Garrison once again. On 01 Jan 1977<br />

Commander Training Brigade Royal Signals took over command of the Garrison and<br />
the Headquarters was redesignated Headquarters Training Group Royal Signals and<br />
Catterick Garrison and the Commander’s post became a Royal Signals Brigadier’s<br />
appointment. Headquarters Training Group Royal Signals and Catterick Garrison<br />
was closed on 03 Dec 1993 and Headquarters Catterick Garrison opened. In April<br />
1996, on the formation of HQ 19 Mechanized Brigade, Catterick Garrison became<br />
part of that HQ. This was to last for the next three years until 01 April 1999, when<br />
Headquarters 19 Mechanized Brigade and Catterick Garrison split into two separate<br />
headquarters. In January 2005 Headquarters 19 Mechanized Brigade became<br />
Headquarters 19 Light Brigade as part of the future structure re-rolling. In 2008 19<br />
Light Brigade moved to Northern Ireland and were replaced by 4 Mechanized Brigade<br />
from Germany. With the cessation of “Arms Plots” under Future Army Structures (FAS)<br />
this means that 4 Mechanized Brigade is here to stay. Recent and future developments<br />
will make Catterick Garrison a fantastic posting for Soldiers and their Families in the<br />
52 major and minor units that make up the Garrison.<br />
Development<br />
Catterick Garrison sits on an elevated plateau 2 miles west of the A1 and 2 miles<br />
south of the market town of Richmond. The main Garrison area consists of some<br />
2,400 acres of land with the surrounding training areas of Feldom and Bellerby<br />
adding a further 19,000 acres. Together, with the Catterick Training Area, the<br />
Garrison has responsibility for a sizeable slice of North Yorkshire. Since the takeover<br />
of RAF Catterick, now called Marne Barracks, there are 19 separate barrack<br />
complexes, accommodation for over 9,600 single service personnel and around<br />
2,388 SFAs spread between Catterick, Darlington, Marne, Topcliffe, Dishforth and<br />
Ripon.<br />
Catterick Garrison is in many respects unique amongst military garrison towns. It is<br />
virtually self-sufficient, has its own infrastructure, owning and operating its own water<br />
supply system, a high voltage electricity ring mains and is of course responsible for all<br />
its property and estate maintenance.<br />
The Garrison now includes the outstations of MDHU Northallerton, Alanbrooke<br />
Barracks, Topcliffe, Dishforth and Claro Barracks, Ripon.<br />
The Garrison lies within the boundaries of the Richmondshire District Council and<br />
has developed close and well established links at all levels of Parish, Town, District,<br />
County Government and the emergency services.<br />
The Garrison takes every opportunity to develop, improve and consolidate<br />
relationships with local organisations and the local population, both formally and<br />
informally, by holding regular briefings, presentations and hosting visits and extending<br />
invitations to the civil community to military and social events in the Garrison<br />
and is very strongly supported by the local community. Between 1992 and 1995<br />
the Garrison experienced a significant expansion in military manpower and also,<br />
therefore, the infrastructure required to support them. Simultaneously a major building<br />
modernisation programme was completed at a cost of £140 million. Not only is<br />
Catterick Garrison the largest British Army garrison in the world, it has now been<br />
recognised as a town in its own right within the Richmondshire District Council’s Local<br />
Plan. Under Future Army Structures (FAS) the Garrison has the capacity for further<br />
expansion. The Garrison Headquarters is supporting plans for such expansion.<br />
Recently, Catterick Garrison has undergone a further major programme of investment<br />
and redevelopment to improve the quality of life for Service Personnel, their families<br />
and the local community.<br />
In September 2009, the new Catterick Leisure Centre was officially opened. It<br />
provides three pools, a sports hall and fitness gym alongside a new Regional<br />
Rehabilitation Unit and a County Council library.
Catterick Garrison 12/13<br />
Other recent developments include the Richmond Centre Catering, Retail and Leisure<br />
facility which caters for the majority of Junior Ranks (JR) in Münster Barracks and a<br />
combined Officers’ and SNCOs’ Mess situated in Richmondshire Lines along with<br />
over 1,500 SLAM bedspaces. A much needed Sergeants’ Mess Annex has also<br />
enabled the two regiments in Marne Barracks to accommodate their SNCOs on site<br />
for the first time. At Gaza Barracks there is a new Warrant Officers’ and Sergeants<br />
Mess’, an Officers’ Mess Annex, new Technical Accommodation which includes<br />
the Regimental HQ building and LAD and more recently a new SLAM block providing<br />
394 bedspaces. The Catering, Retail and Leisure facility will be delivered mid 2012.<br />
Discussions also continue with a developer to deliver a modern town centre and<br />
The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) has signed an agreement with<br />
Birmingham-based Lingfield Securities to carry out proposals for the development of<br />
the latest phase of a new town centre at Catterick Garrison, in the area of the Central<br />
Sports Ground.<br />
The project, with a development value in excess of £25 million, will see the creation<br />
of up to 120,000 sq ft of much needed retail and leisure floorspace spread across<br />
approximately 20 units, as well as circa 300 car parking spaces and a 60 to 80 bed<br />
hotel within the 3.50 hectare site.<br />
With outline planning for the masterplan of the Town Centre already in place, detailed<br />
planning consent will be sought by Autumn 2012, with work on site expected to start<br />
Spring 2013 and a completion date by 2014.<br />
Community Engagement – The Military Civil Integration (MCI) Project<br />
1. The Service Personnel Command Paper (SPCP), published in 2008, set out the<br />
Nation’s commitment to service personnel and their families in the fields of<br />
employment, housing, medical care and education. More recently, the Armed Forces<br />
Covenant included additional commitments as well as restating the outstanding<br />
commitments of the SPCP, and these were consolidated in the Catterick Garrison<br />
area by North Yorkshire County Council’s adoption of the Armed Forces Community<br />
Covenant on 30 June 2011.<br />
2. The MCP brings together military and civil communities in support of our service<br />
personnel, their families and ex-service personnel, and has resulted in real benefits to<br />
all sides. The Army Welfare Service was represented on the initial Project Board, and<br />
continues to have a seat on the recently constituted North Yorkshire Armed Forces<br />
Board, which has developed from the Community Covenant.<br />
3. Enquiries relating to Community Engagement or the MCP can be directed to the<br />
Staff Officer responsible for building and maintaining engagement mechanisms with<br />

The Infantry Training Centre Catterick<br />
(ITC C)<br />
ITC Catterick (ITC (C)) is part of the School of Infantry (SCHINF) which is an operating<br />
division of the Army Recruiting and Training Division (ARTD) with its HQ at Upavon<br />
in Wiltshire. ITC (C)’s aim is to provide trained Infantry soldiers to serve with all<br />
Regiments of the Foot Guards, Line Infantry, Parachute Regiment and the Gurkhas.<br />
SCHINF provides all individual training which make up 26% of the Army.<br />
Background<br />
The ITC (C) has been open since 1 May 1995 when it took over the responsibility<br />
for Infantry training from the three Army Infantry Training Battalions then based at<br />
Catterick, Strensall and Ouston. As well as all initial training for the Infantry for both<br />
Regular and Territorial Army (TA), ITC (C) also conducts phase 3 training for the<br />
Infantry Corp of Drums, Pipes and Drums and All Arms Drill courses with the School<br />
of Ceremonial. In addition, Pre-Parachute Selection courses are run for trainee<br />
soldiers joining the Parachute Regiment and for volunteers for 16 Air Assault Brigade.<br />
The creation of ITC (C) has centralised these aspects of training on a scale not seen<br />
since National Service. Since 23 Jul 2001 HQ SCHINF has also been located at Vimy<br />
barracks. It commands ITC (C), The Infantry Battle School (Brecon), Support Weapons<br />
Wing Warminster and the School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming<br />
Edinburgh.<br />
Location<br />
The ITC (C) occupies both Vimy and Helles Barracks in the south quadrant of the<br />
Garrison site and adjacent to Catterick Training Area of which it is the major user.<br />
Training is also conducted at Warcop, Gal<strong>low</strong>ay, Kirkcudbright, Garelochhead,<br />
Otterburn, Ripon Park and Sennybridge. Halton is used for adventure training.<br />
General Description<br />
ITC (C) is responsible for training an annual output of some 3200 trainees. To meet its<br />
training remit, the ITC (C) is organised into two training Battalions (1 & 2 ITBs) and an<br />
Headquarters and Support Battalion (ITC HQ).<br />
1ITB is responsible for the conduct of the Combat Infantryman’s Course (CIC) for all<br />
Line Regiments.<br />
2ITB is responsible for the training of recruits to the Foot Guards, Parachute Regiment<br />
and Gurkhas. It is also responsible for the All Arms Parachute Selection Course (P<br />
Company) and the Gurkha language wing (GLW). Anzio Company is responsible for<br />
a number of short courses including Phase 2 training for all Infantry Junior entrants<br />
from the Army Foundation College at Harrogate. It is also responsible for a potential<br />
JNCO Short Course for the TA which has been running since April 1996 and has been<br />
a great success, the aim being to assess as objectively as possible whether a TA soldier<br />
has the potential to be a JNCO.<br />
The Headquarters Battalion (ITC HQ) provides the administrative and logistic support<br />
for the whole of the ITC (C). In total the ITC (C) is established for 849 military and 311<br />
civilian posts.<br />
The organisation of training for the CIC is structured on an intake system. The ITC (C)<br />
is geared to receive a regular soldier intake of up to 252 every fortnight with up to an<br />
additional 168 TA Infantry soldiers every alternate fortnight. This planning yardstick is<br />
governed, principally by resources available to training. Training takes place within<br />
Divisional Companies and encourages Regimental identity from day one. This training<br />
structure applies to all companies within the ITC (C), however the Foot Guards and
Catterick Garrison 12/13<br />
the Parachute Regiment complete a slightly, longer CIC and both are “stand alone”<br />
companies although the Foot Guards train with the Infantry of the Line companies for<br />
all field training as these facilities are primarily geared to training a company at a time.<br />
The Gurkha’s complete a separate and much longer course of 37 weeks which<br />
includes English language training.<br />
In addition to the courses mentioned above the ITC (C) also has responsibility for a<br />
range of other courses including All Arms Pre SAS Selection Infantry Skills courses to<br />
prepare non-Infantry potential students for SAS selection. It also administers tri-service<br />
trainees undergoing Parachute training at RAF Brize Norton, assists with Army Cadet<br />
Camps and “Look at Life” activities. Through the Gurkha Language Wing the ITC (C)<br />
provides English and Nepali language training for the Brigade of Gurkhas.<br />

Places of Interest<br />
Richmondshire District<br />
The District is comprised of some 100 parishes covering an area of about 500<br />
square miles. It includes two of the county’s most picturesque dales, Swaledale and<br />
Wensleydale.<br />
Some of the most beautiful country is to be found along the banks of the River Swale<br />
which falls over 400 feet within the District and is the fastest f<strong>low</strong>ing river in the United<br />
Kingdom.<br />
Wensleydale, of cheese and racehorse fame, is perhaps the most colourful of all<br />
the Yorkshire Dales and includes the well known beauty spots of Hardraw Force and<br />
Aysgarth Falls.<br />
The Scots Dyke, the remarkable earthwork which extends from Scotland to Central<br />
Yorkshire is still visible. It is generally thought to have been the work of Ancient<br />
Britons. In Roman times the station of Cataractonium was situated near the present<br />
Catterick Race Course. This guarded the main route from London to the North at the<br />
actual ford across the Swale near the Agricola Bridge now carrying the old A1.<br />
The area is rich with castles, monasteries, medieval ruins and many well preserved<br />
manor houses. A wealth of churches which still reflect their grandeur and architecture<br />
can all be found in this area.<br />
Richmond<br />
Few towns can equal the magnificence of Richmond. Its great cobbled market place;<br />
its narrow wynds and street names; its fragments of town walls and gates and lastly<br />
but above all its magnificent Norman Castle built after the Battle of Hastings in 1066.<br />
Richmond and District Civic Society has erected plaques to identify places and links<br />
with famous people. To tour these plaques visit Richmond Tourist Information Centre,<br />
Victoria Road, who can provide you with a detailed map.<br />
Richmond is a fine market town on the banks of the River Swale guarding the<br />
entrance to Swaledale and a convenient centre for touring the Yorkshire Dales.<br />
Catterick Garrison, closely associated with the town of Richmond, is about 2½<br />
miles away and has a special place in the memories of a whole generation who did<br />
National Service.<br />
Markets are held outside on Saturdays and indoors in the Market Hall on Tuesdays<br />
and Thursdays.<br />
There are plenty of tea rooms, cafés, restaurants, hotels and pubs. Parking can be<br />
found in Richmond Market Place. Conditions are stipulated on the discs which are<br />
available from most businesses in the Market Place. Disc parking al<strong>low</strong>s motorists<br />
to park for up to 2 hours free of charge Monday – Saturday 8.00am to 6.00pm.<br />
Disabled parking is around the edge of the Market Place adjacent to the pavement.<br />

Places to<br />
Visit<br />
Hipswell Habitat<br />
Hipswell Habitat is a community project using arts, crafts and the environment to<br />
bring people together and provide a ‘haven’ for everyone to enjoy.<br />
The project is based at Hipswell Lodge, home of the Army Welfare Service and is<br />
designed to be accessible to both civilian and military members of the community<br />
alike. ‘Community’ is used in its widest sense and includes all members no matter<br />
what cultural background, age, sex or ability they fall into.<br />
Facilities available for community orientated activities include an activity room<br />
designed for arts and crafts use, within this is a six station internet suite for training<br />
and project based activities. Next door is an events room with seating, a stage, coffee<br />
bar area and power point projector and screen making it a very flexible room for a<br />
range of uses. A bunga<strong>low</strong> on the site has a fully fitted kitchen, small ‘creche style’<br />
room and an informal meeting room for more relaxed gatherings, meetings and<br />
coffee mornings etc.<br />
All of these rooms can be booked by calling 01748 872912 and asking for a<br />
booking form. Further information on activities that can be run at Hipswell Habitat are<br />
also available on this number.<br />
There is much more to the project than rooms to book though, the grounds around<br />
the Lodge also form part of the Habitat and projects include a conservation garden,<br />
garden projects including borders to plant and maintain, nature trails, wildlife pond,<br />
and if you are a bird lover, there is a bird hide with a large feeding station and nest<br />
boxes erected, so you can watch the daily comings and goings of the birds, and<br />
observe the different species, from blue tits to nuthatches, to name but a few! There is<br />
also a vegetable and fruit garden and a range of other projects that we are currently<br />
developing. The Woodland Trail called ‘Bramble Wood’, funded through the Big<br />
Lottery’s Breathing Places fund, continues to be developed. The Habitat is home to<br />
the ‘Play Trail’, again funded by the Lottery, both of which are open for everyone to<br />
come and explore.<br />
Environmental projects are being developed but as with all the elements of Hipswell<br />
Habitat the vision is that members of the community will come forward with ideas<br />
and offers of help in developing projects and running activities. This is a community<br />
project and it needs the community to take it to its heart, get in touch, join us, make<br />
new friends and enjoy a haven in the midst of Catterick Garrison.<br />
To find out more about the projects and to get involved please contact us on<br />
telephone 01748 872912.<br />
Foxglove Covert Local nature Reserve<br />
The award-winning Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve adjacent to Cambrai Lines<br />
at Catterick Garrison has a remarkable mix of habitats and species. The reserve<br />
131<br />
Leisure Time
132 Catterick Garrison 12/13<br />
Leisure Time<br />
contains semi-natural woodland, heathland, f<strong>low</strong>er-rich grassland, streams, ponds, a<br />
lake, wil<strong>low</strong> and alder carr, conifer woodland and wetland.<br />
Some of the most attractive habitats have been deliberately created since the reserve<br />
was established in 1992. For example, the lake was once a water supply reservoir<br />
that had become completely filled-in and overgrown. Restoration to form the scenic<br />
and wildlife-rich feature that visitors can see today involved clearance of many conifer<br />
trees and removal of over 6,000 tons of sediment. In March 2011 the lake was<br />
doubled in size to improve this habitat for water birds, Water Voles, invertebrates and<br />
amphibians.<br />
In contrast a wetland area with ponds, reed beds, marshes and a boardwalk that<br />
gives easy access to them, was created afresh in 2008 and provides a valuable<br />
breeding site for waders. A tower hide to view it was constructed in 2009.<br />
As well as habitats, the reserve boasts a state-of-the-art Field Centre, purpose-built<br />
to provide facilities for the visitor, for educational use and to accommodate bird<br />
ringing activities. The Field Centre is equipped with interactive interpretive panels, an<br />
observation beehive (with real honey bees) and an activity room that functions as an<br />
educational space or meeting room. From the activity room you can look out onto a<br />
garden through a ‘one-way’ viewing window so wildlife visiting the feeding station can<br />
be watched at close quarters.<br />
Since entering into Environmental Stewardship with Natural England in 2010 there<br />
have been many recent developments. For instance, a new wheelchair accessible hide<br />
and bridge have been created at the lake. The paths and walkways have all been<br />
upgraded and an Outdoor Classroom has been built in the woods so that school<br />
children can gain more from their visits.<br />
The reserve is managed to maximise the range of wildlife and to make it accessible to<br />
people. The purpose of Local Nature Reserves, such as Foxglove Covert, is to make<br />
nature available to people for their enjoyment and education. Visitors can fol<strong>low</strong> a<br />
self-guided Discovery Trail, explore the reserve along a network of paths or join in<br />
one of the regular guided walks or other events. There are opportunities for people<br />
who would like to take an active role in looking after the reserve. During the winter<br />
months there are regular habitat management days open to all, while in summer the<br />
emphasis is on maintenance to ensure that the reserve is as welcoming as possible.<br />
Though on land owned by the Ministry of Defence, the reserve is leased to an<br />
independent Management Group. Much of the practical management work and the<br />
fund-raising necessary to keep the reserve going are carried out by volunteers from<br />
both the military and civilian communities.<br />
As a Local Nature Reserve, declared by Richmondshire District Council, Foxglove<br />
Covert is intended as a facility for use by members of the community. We encourage<br />
use by schools, community groups, families and individuals. Reserve Managers based<br />
at the reserve can help organise your visit. They can be contacted on 01748 831113<br />
or 07754 270980.<br />
Foxglove Covert is accessible through Cambrai Lines, Munster Barracks on Ava Road,<br />

Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team (SMRT)<br />
Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team (SMRT) is a registered charity (Charity Commission<br />
No. 501885) which provides a mountain and cave rescue service within the<br />
Swaledale and Wensleydale areas of North Yorkshire. The team is made up of a<br />
group of highly trained volunteers who are available to be called out for a variety of<br />
land based search and rescue operations, any time day or night. SMRT provide a 24<br />
hours per day, 365 days per year service.<br />
The team was formed in 1968 by 12 local people and has developed to the
Catterick Garrison 12/13<br />
professional volunteer service of today that comprises around 30 members capable of<br />
reacting at short notice and so providing an invaluable asset to the local community<br />
SMRT moved to their current purpose built rescue headquarters on Catterick Garrison<br />
in 1999.<br />
The base has garages, storage, training and catering facilities and is located at an<br />
ideal point of access to both Swaledale and Wensleydale. SMRT is affiliated to the<br />
North East Search and Rescue Association (NESRA), Mountain Rescue – England and<br />
Wales, and the British Cave Rescue Council (BCRC). These bodies provide a regional<br />
and national forum to share training methods, standards and equipment and a voice<br />
for teams at a wider level.<br />
Team Members<br />
The team is always keen for new members to join. There are a few basic requirements<br />
for a new member to have and training is given in most areas of skill and knowledge,<br />
particularly search and rescue work. New members need to be proficient navigators<br />
and competent hill walkers with the desire to learn by attending a significant amount<br />
of training with the team, “the more you put into your learning experience the more<br />
you will gain”. [Please note: It can take up to 18 months to complete probationary<br />
training, prior to being added to the full team members “callout list”.]<br />
Being a team member is not a glamorous role; often it is cold, wet and tiring. Team<br />
members are unpaid and are on call 24 hours a day, though their attendance at an<br />
incident will depend on their own personal and work commitments. The team<br />
normally reacts to round twenty-five callouts per year. These callouts can occur at any<br />
time of day or night and are often spread randomly throughout the year.<br />
Funding<br />
Like other mountain and cave rescue teams in the UK receives no funding from<br />
Central Government. The team is run entirely by volunteers and has no paid<br />
members of staff. The everyday funding of SMRT is by donations from the public.<br />
It costs about £24,000 per year to maintain the service that SMRT provides. This<br />
money comes from a variety of sources: collecting boxes throughout the area, kind<br />
donations from various groups, individuals or organisations, street collections; and<br />
fund raising events such as our winter slide shows.<br />
The money raised is used to pay for insurance, maintenance and running of our<br />
two emergency vehicles, operating and up keep of our base, and the replacement<br />
of rescue and medical equipment (all of which has a finite life span or can suffer<br />
damage through wear and tear).<br />

Catterick Garrison Football Centre<br />
www.clubwebsite.co.uk/catterickgarrisonfootballcentre<br />
The Catterick Garrison Football Centre (CGFC) was formed in May 2006, bringing<br />
together the many stand alone teams within the local community. The CGFC is<br />
committed to providing every child with the opportunity to; play football, make friends,<br />
get active and above all have fun.<br />
The CGFC is a Charter Standard Club and was awarded this status as it has been<br />
able to demonstrate it provides quality football opportunities in a safe environment.<br />
The club is affiliated to the North Riding County Football Association.<br />
The club caters for children aged from 6 to 16, both boys and girls. We are looking to<br />
start an adult side for the 2011/12 season. We have a good mix of military children<br />
and those from the local community and beyond.<br />
We currently have an under 8’s squad, 2 under 10’s teams, under 11 boys, under<br />
12’s boy and girls teams, under 14 boys and under 16 girls. All the teams play in the<br />
Wensleydale Junior Football League on a Sunday morning.<br />
All coaches are F.A qualified coaches who are CRB checked, have attended<br />
Safegaurding Children courses and are fist aid qualified. We are always looking for<br />
new coaches/volunteers and if you are interested in becoming a qualified coach then<br />
we can help.<br />
Catterick Garrison Football Centre is based at the AWS Pitches opposite Gaza<br />
Barracks on Richmond Road. We play our home games here and this is our training<br />
base during the summer months. During the winter we train at various locations<br />
around the Garrison.<br />
