Humber Rescue chosen as the local Charity of the Year

August 2010

Humber Rescue has been chosen as the local Charity of the Year by Sainsbury's in Hessle. Each year Sainsbury's invites nominations from shoppers and staff for a local charity for each store. The selected charity benefits from a year-long link with their local supermarket, with staff getting involved to organise fundraising events including charity collections, and volunteering for the charity.

The management and crew of Humber Rescue are delighted to be chosen as the store’s charity of the year. We provide an essential fast-response rescue boat service on the rivers of the Humber Estuary and we are entirely dependant on donations from the public and local businesses, such as Sainsbury's. Without support like this, we would not be able to train and equip our rescue crews or put fuel in our rescue boats. We are looking forward to a terrific relationship with Sainsbury's staff and customers in Hessle over the coming year and we hope to be involved with a wide range of activities to help raise our profile in the area.
