Help <strong>Coastguard</strong><br />
<strong>Build</strong> a <strong>Boat</strong><br />
When <strong>Coastguard</strong> volunteers head out to save lives at sea there<br />
are just two differences between them and you – their training<br />
and their equipment. They are nurses, lawyers, electricians,<br />
aunties - they are people like you. They are ordinary people<br />
doing extraordinary things and you can be part of that too.<br />
<strong>Coastguard</strong> vessels are built to saves lives. We have one of the largest<br />
vessel fleets in the country. To keep our people safe, we must meet the same<br />
standards as a commercial organisation and to do that we need your help.<br />
<strong>Coastguard</strong> <strong>Northern</strong> <strong>Region</strong> needs to raise over $1,750,000 each year to<br />
ensure we can build replacement rescue vessels and keep our existing fleet<br />
on the water.<br />
New vessels cost us roughly $600,000 each, and with 25 different units across<br />
the region and 3 replacement boats projected each year this can soon stack<br />
up! As a <strong>Build</strong> a <strong>Boat</strong> partner you are helping us ensure we have rescue<br />
vessels to keep kiwis safe on the water well into the future.<br />
Thank you for considering to help us <strong>Build</strong> a <strong>Boat</strong>. To get your business on<br />
board contact us at fundraising@coastguard.org.nz or call 0800 262 843<br />

From one community to another<br />
How we keep your donation working<br />
<strong>Coastguard</strong> North Shore recently launched their brand new rescue vessel<br />
with the help of local community businesses like yours. North Shore<br />
Rescue was a vital upgrade for one of the busiest boating spots in the<br />
country - the Hauraki Gulf.<br />
The retired North Shore rescue vessel is currently<br />
undergoing a refit in Northland and will shortly be<br />
welcomed with open arms at <strong>Coastguard</strong> Houhora.<br />
Their current rescue vessel has limited capacity<br />
to handle the treacherous conditions they face<br />
in the Far North. This results in the Houhora<br />
team providing additional search and rescue<br />
capability in privately owned vessels.<br />
When you get on board with our <strong>Build</strong><br />
a <strong>Boat</strong> fund, your donation is making a<br />
difference to communities throughout the<br />
region and helping our volunteers continue their<br />
life saving work of bringing Kiwis home safely<br />
every day.<br />
When it’s 3am and the<br />
call goes out, the team at<br />
North Shore can be confident<br />
they have the right equipment to<br />
save lives. And when that same<br />
call goes out in the Far North, the<br />
team at Houhora are ready for<br />
whatever challenges face them.<br />
