Our team consists of operational volunteers the York Rescue Boat. We are committed to ensuring that our beautiful city remains a safe place for all of our residents and visitors. We all volunteer our time freely to provide proactive foot and boat patrols on and around the cities rivers at high risk times. Our aim from this event is to raise £5000 in order to equip our foot patrol personnel with adequate search and rescue and personal protective equipment.
