If any of our members are interested in joining NCI Fleetwood as a volunteer watchkeeper, just let me know via the comments section. Othr than good eyesight, you just need to be able to spare the time to be on watch (3 hours in Winter, 4 hours in Summer) at least twice a month.
Similarly, if you would like to visit the "Leaning Tower of Fleetwood" to see what we do as the eyes and ears on the Fylde Coast, add a comment below.
What’s your 2026 resolution?
If you’d like it to be a lifesaving one, volunteering with us could help you do exactly that.
Volunteers (2,800 of them) at our charity’s 61 stations along the coasts of England and Wales are part of the maritime search and rescue community. Our highly trained watchkeepers keep a daily watch for anyone in danger and report any incidents to our HM Coastguard colleagues so help can be sent.
You don’t need any qualifications or maritime experience to join us as full training is provided.
You’ll learn watchkeeping skills, accurate logbook maintenance, incident response, tides, weather, VHF radio skills with specific emphasis on distress calls, chart and map work, as well as familiarisation with the local sea and coastline and any hazards.
We’re always looking for more people to support us and their communities in many different ways. Sharing this post is an easy way to show your support!
