Prawle Point NCI is one of 60 stations around the coastline of England & Wales working in concert with other search and rescue operations. We are all volunteers and we receive no government funding so we rely on people like you to help us keep our station open and thriving. In order to be part of the search and rescue fabric (holding what is called ‘Declared Facility Status’) we have to meet certain minimum standards in terms of the number of hours we operate, the expertise of our volunteers, and keeping our radio and navigation aids up to snuff. It all costs money – around £16,000 each year.
This annual fundraiser is a key component of our varied efforts to bring in that kind of cash each and every year. Can you help us? There are various ways to get involved – and you don’t just have to choose one!
