Working in teams of four, they can assemble a dedicated team of searchers with an hour of being called out. The charity was developed in response to the disappearance and murder of 8 year old Sarah Payne in 2000. The volunteers who are self-funded provide a vital resource to the police. There is no government funding, so fundraising is a high priority for the charity. Their website is www.sussar.org.uk.
