Our 2011 Annual Report
|
 |
In the last year our 2,146 volunteers assisted over 7,000 people in need, with our communications services helping thousands more enjoy the water safely. We simply couldn't achieve these amazing results without the help of our members.
Please click on the image to the left to view our 2011 Annual Report. It's been a year of exciting developments; around our coast, and in the way the Region supports and leads its people towards Coastguard's mission - this is our opportunity to share some of that with you.

Rescue volunteers voted the second most trusted profession
|
 |
The selfless work and countless hours invested by the nation’s rescue volunteers has been recognised, with the profession ranked second in the 2011 Readers Digest “Most Trusted Professions” Poll. Fire fighters retain the number one spot in the annual poll, a position held for a number of years, and paramedics were placed third.
Bruce Reid, Coastguard CEO, says “It is fitting that these results have been announced during Volunteer Awareness Week as it reinforces the key role rescue volunteers play in keeping communities safe. They not only serve to save lives but also act as trusted and respected individuals and are seen as such because of what they do and how they go about doing it.

“Coastguard has 2,239 volunteers who give over 350,000 hours every year to keep the boating community safe. They don’t do it for any reward so we are delighted that their efforts and those of other rescue services can berecognised in this way,” he says.
Volunteer Awareness Week (19th – 25th June) is currently being celebrated around the country. This year Coastguard is honouring not only their outstanding volunteers but the families, friends, colleagues and employers who stand alongside and support the volunteers commitment to saving lives at sea.
