Coastguard Association

The Coastguard Association is a nationwide charity that helps look after Coastguards both past and present, who are suffering hardship as a result of an injury or illness. The charity is separate from HM Coastguard (although works closely with them).


The association have assisted Swanage Coastguard in the past and we are very grateful for the support they give us.


Why not support the Association by purchasing a coffee mug, teddy bear or shopping bag from their webshop. I’m sure they would make a nice stocking filler. (I can’t believe I’ve just written something about Christmas which is two months away- sorry readers!).

Not so sure about the umbrella; if I see one of the team on a shout in the rain with an umbrella there will be some merciless leg pulling.
