Donation brings a new boat a step closer

Exmoor Search and Rescue had a boost to their funding from Western Power Distribution recently which will help them purchase a new boat to add to their emergency fleet.

Exmoor Search and Rescue is made up of volunteers who give up their work-time and free-time to help save lives in the communities of Devon and Somerset.

Ray Stanway, Water Officer for the group said: “Volunteer groups like ours are increasingly supporting the main emergency services at times of major disasters, like the recent floods which have devastated parts of the UK. Fundraising is increasingly difficult so the £1,500 donated by WPD was a much needed boost.”
