About the charity

York Rescue Boat

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1155849
York Rescue Boat is an independent search and rescue charity, based in York, North Yorkshire. ​ Founded in 2014 after a series of deaths in the city’s rivers, York Rescue Boat has grown from humble beginnings raising money out of the back of a car, to a highly trained and capable team becoming renowned for its work both in York and further afield. ​ Our work centres around the Rivers Ouse and Foss in York. Uniquely we work to make the city safer by carrying out combined patrols by boat and on foot at high risk times every weekend throughout the year as apposed to just responding to emergency calls. We also cover other times as requested by North Yorkshire Police or other agencies.
