HMCG Audit

Ulverston Inshore rescue have just had the yearly audit by the MCA and due to all the team work by our crew we have passed again well done to all concerned.

Ulverston In Shore Rescue was set up after many tragedies on the dangerous bay sands, it was started 8 years ago and we have 14 volunteers, who at the moment are under the training competencies of HM Coastguard  Barrow, learning basic first aid, knots, map reading, compass work, radio communications, seamanship, and all other aspects of safety at sea.

The Base itself is situated near Canal Foot in Ulverston on land kindly ‘donated’ by GlaxoSmithKline and consists of one portacabin office and four container storage vessels.

The portacabin is used for meetings, training and the operations room  in the event of an incident. Other equipment already purchased include maps, compasses, torches and waterproof clothing.

We also have a 4 x 4 Ford Ranger vehicle and can begin our service in and around the local area warning people of the dangers on the sands and helping to prevent any further tragedies occurring.

Thank You To All The People Who Have Supported UIR Over The Past Years
