Maryport Rescue

Maryport Rescue are an Independent Organisation and registered charity 1113807

​

We serve the community and the wider communities by providing a Lifeboat Rescue service covering the Solway Firth, a Flood, Swift Water Rescue Service and a Search & Rescue Service for Lost, Missing, Vulnerable and despondent persons, covering the whole of Cumbria.

​

We are listed on the National Asset Register for flood and can be deployed nationally when requested.

​

We are on call 24/7 365 days to respond to calls for assistance from HM Coastguard, Cumbria Police and Cumbria Fire and Rescue,  also national resilience for flood.

​

All our rescuers are volunteers, trained to National and International standards.

We have a busy fundraising calendar every year combined with successful applications, our Lifeboat Lottery, donations, bequeathments and public donations all help to keep the service running, as we need to find around £42k a year to operate.
