What’s going on

5. What does the Coastguard service mean to you?

A team of hard-working genuine people who want to ensure the safety of their community, and uphold the comfort that we're here 24/7 to help when we're needed.

6. What is your hope for the Coastguard service in 2023?

I hope that we can continue to get more engagement between our Coastguard unit and community groups/ the community around water safety education and knowledge. Our unit is also working through our new building project at the moment which is hugely exciting! Although no specific dates are set for completion yet this project will no doubt be a great challenge for our unit next year.

7. Is this the beginning of future multisport participation?

Potentially! I'm enjoying spending more time outdoors, although I'm not great at sticking to a strict schedule for training so who knows.....

8. Coastguard is run by volunteers, what brings so many volunteers to the Coastguard?

As Crew manager for the Lyttelton unit I recently asked all volunteers about their 'why' and what Coastguard means to them. A few crew have experienced needing help which inspired them to join and help others in need, other crew already have substantial maritime experience and wanted to offer this experience to help the community. Mainly our volunteers are looking for a way to give back to the community whilst gaining great skills.
