Coastguard Nelson MayDay Rescue Appeal 2015

Coastguard is the charity saving lives at sea, and all Coastguard crew members are volunteers – regular people with regular jobs. However, we're ready to drop everything to come to your aid when you need us most. This May, we need your support more than ever to help us continue saving lives at sea. Your donation will help give our Coastguard crews the critical skills they need to rescue Kiwis in times of distress on the water.
