VOLUNTEER
CREW.
Humber Rescue's volunteers come from diverse backgrounds and age groups. This includes office workers, engineers, seasoned mariners, and those new to water.
We're continually seeking new members to join our skilled boat and shore crews or to assist with fundraising events that keep our service running. No previous experience is necessary, as comprehensive in-house training will be provided.
Interested in joining? Visit the Boathouse during one of our training sessions to pick up an application:
-
Sunday Morning: 09:00 - 12:00

Monday Evening: 19:00 - 21:00
FUNDRAISE.
You don't need to be a volunteer to make a life-saving impact! Organising a fundraising event or securing sponsorships for Humber Rescue can have a significant effect. Whether it's swimming across the Humber, taking part in a charity skydive, or hosting a quiz night, we're here to support you every step of the way to achieve your goals. Reach out to us via email or stop by the Boathouse to get started.
DONATE.
Humber Rescue is an independent charity and relies entirely on donations to operate. Humber Rescue receives no government funding and functions independently from the RNLI. Every donation is crucial for keeping our services running. Your contributions support training, vital equipment and help us update our fleet with the latest life-saving technology.
THE
HUMBER SWIM.
The Humber Swim, organised by long-time supporters Sarah and Frank Scholes, is a series of iconic swims across the Humber Estuary. Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2024, the event occurs multiple times throughout the summer.
Humber Rescue ensures the safety of all participants by providing safety boats for each swim. Each swimmer participates to raise vital funds for Humber Rescue. Swim durations range from 50 minutes to 1.5 hours, with distances between 1.5k and 4k, depending on the tides. Each swim offers a unique experience due to varying conditions.
