A few months before the official opening of the new Marine Rescue Central Coast base at Point Clare, the volunteer unit is sending out a call for more volunteers.
If you have a genuine interest in boating, communication, fundraising and helping others, consider donating some of your spare time to the Central Coast unit of Marine Rescue, the third busiest unit in the Central Coast/Hunter area.
Membership co-ordinator Lisa Pollard said two information evenings would be held in early February.
“We’re looking for community-minded men and women who can afford time to give back to the community,” she said.
“Anyone who has some spare time to help others, be it learning the ropes to become a boat crew member, training to become a member of our Rescue Water Craft Team, learning how to communicate correctly over our radio network, or even helping with the fundraising side of the unit – there’s something for everyone and all roles are equally important.
“The new building – expected to be opened by the end of April – will accommodate up to 130 volunteers who are rostered on once every four weeks.”
Each volunteer position plays a crucial role in search and rescue responses.
The information evenings will be held at Marine Rescue Central Coast’s temporary unit location, Peninsula Community Centre, 93 McMasters Rd, Woy Woy, at 7pm on Wednesday and Thursday February 5 and 6.
For more details and to register email membership.centralcoast@marinerescuensw.com.au or phone Lisa Pollard on Thursday mornings between 9am and 11am on 4337 9600.
