Waterford City River Rescue (CRBI)

Waterford City River Rescue CRBI is delighted to announce that we have launched our new lifeboat appeal.  This new appeal will help us to purchase a much needed specialist Search & Rescue craft that will enable us to better serve our community.  We are extremely grateful  for our communities kindness, generosity and support.  We would ask that if you could donate to our new lifeboat we would be extremely grateful.
   Waterford City River Rescue is a non profit organization, which was established in 2006.  We are a voluntary Search & Rescue service, and we depend on sponsorship and donations from the public to maintain our 24/7365 service along the River Suir.  We are a full member of the Community Rescue Boats of Ireland (CRBI).  This is a national umbrella group for independent voluntary rescue boats and is under the control of Irish Water Safety.  In addition we are a declared facility of the Irish Coast Guard, which designates voluntary units such as ourselves to provide cover in areas not covered by their professional stations. In our case, our main responsibility is the 15 mile stretch of the River Suir from Cheekpoint to Mount Congreve.  We can of course be tasked beyond this area if the coast guard requires.

Thank you for your continued support towards our unit.
