About

Volunteer

No prior experience is necessary to be a Volunteer with Coastwatch.  Members have very different backgrounds and levels of knowledge, so whatever training you need to become a valued member it will be geared to your experience (or lack of it). Instruction is available in any area of Coastwatch's remit, be it watchkeeper or shopkeeper, or you may simply just want to volunteer to help.  If you are an electrician, plumber, roofer, painter or mechanic you can help us too.  If you have promotional or artistic skills, are a web designer, are an accountant -  we would love to hear from you.

 

We offer training sessions; for example, how to use a radio, map reading or first aid certification. There is a wide variety of training available, all arranged for you by our Training Officer.   Nothing is compulsory.     

Aim

Coastwatch Shop

Did you know that we have a wee shop selling teas, coffees, bovril, hot chocolate, crisps, biscuits, tea-cakes, cold drinks, water and sweets?  We even have buckets and spades.  The shop is open as long we have volunteers to man it.  Can you spare a few hours per week to help us out in the shop?
