How You Can Support Us
National Coastwatch (NCI) volunteer watchkeepers act as the "eyes and ears" along the coast of England and Wales. Operating from 60 stations, we monitor radio channels and maintain a vital listening watch in poor visibility. When emergencies occur, we alert HM Coastguard and guide rescue services to the casualty. As a fully voluntary organization, we rely entirely on your support. By making a donation to the NCI Development Fund, you help us open new stations and sustain existing ones. Every contribution, no matter the size, is vital to keeping our coastline safe.
