Support Us

The Borders Water Rescue Team is funded entirely by voluntary contribution

Unlike many of the land-based voluntary rescue teams, we do not get any Government assistance at all! Borders Water Rescue Team is a charity based in and providing services throughout the Borders and farther afield. We raise all our funds from a variety of sources for our essential services.

Donations or other financial help, from whatever source, and wheter large or small, is always gratefully received and put to good use. Team equipment is transported in a trailer on which a number of sponsors have advertising space. The sponsor, on an annual basis, purchases space, and sign writing is applied accordingly. Team equipment or clothing is also available for sponsorship. Any interested sponsors should contact the Team directly.

Donations to the Team (which should be gift-aided if possible), can be made as follows:

  • via the 'Donate' button (no PayPal account required)
  • Direct Money Transfer or Standing Order - contact us and we can assist you to set this up.
  • by cheque or postal order, made out to BWRT - again please contact us.

Legacies and Bequests

We are sure you will appreciate that we cannot provide our services without the generosity of our supporters who matter a great deal to us and make a crucial difference. One way they make a difference is through a gift in their Will. If and when the time is right for you, after you have provided for your family and friends; it would help us if you could consider leaving us a gift in your Will. Always take legal advice before making or altering your will. Supporters who leave us a gift really make a difference!
