Steve Double, Member of Parliament for St Austell and Newquay, has welcomed the awarding of £25,260.90 of funding from the Department from Transport.
Commenting, Steve said:
“It is great to see St Dennis-based Cornwall Search and Rescue again benefit from the Inshore and Inland Rescue Boat Grant Fund after a previous successful bid last year.”
“This money will have a direct positive impact on SAR’s work and will be used towards purchasing essential equipment such as new boats and launch vehicles, or smaller kit such as lifejackets and boots.”
“Cornwall SAR do invaluable work and I am pleased to see them receive some of the £2.6m that the Government has awarded to water rescue charities nationally since 2014.”
