NCI ST IVES SUPPORTED BY ASDA HAYLE DONATION

9th November 2020. Asda supermarket in Hayle have generously provided support to The National Coastwatch Institution station at St Ives.

The Asda Hayle Harbour store donated a generous sum of money to the volunteers of NCI St Ives to spend in store. Station Manager Helen Simpson commented “We decided that we would spend ASDA’s generous donation on the cleansing materials needed to keep the watch station clean during the Covid Pandemic. Asda have been extremely generous and added a few extras like tea, coffee and biscuits for the watchkeepers”

About

Currently almost 60 National Coastwatch stations are operational and manned by over 2600 volunteer watchkeepers around the British Isles from Fleetwood in the North West, through Wales, to the South and East of England to Filey in North Yorkshire. 

National Coastwatch watchkeepers provide the eyes and ears along the coast, monitoring radio channels and providing a listening watch in poor visibility. They are trained to deal with emergencies offering a variety of skills and experience, and full training by the National Coastwatch ensures that high standards are met.
