Civil Aid Voluntary Rescue Association (CAVRA) is a voluntary civil defence & search and rescue Organisation operating within England & Wales. It is a registered charity, and its purpose is to provide back-up personnel to the emergency services in a range of situations, including in particular searches for missing persons. They also provide support at public events and during times of adverse weather conditions, natural disaster or civil emergency.[1]
CAVRA briefly ceased operations in July 2024 due to the retirement of Chairman Ivor Davies and a number of other trusties.[2] Once new trustees were appointed, the charity has relaunched, with an updated image, and new operating area, now covering England & Wales, rather than just the South Wales area from mid to the south Wales coast previously covered.
