With annual costs of around £30,000
Our principal expenses cover all rescue and personal protective equipment for our rescue team, insurances, and general costs associated with the upkeep of our Watch House estate which includes buildings dating back to the 19th century. The next public fundraiser for TVLB will be on Saturday 17th June for the King Eddies Stairs Challenge. Take on as many or as few laps as you like – all are welcome, including children
Our Committee of Directors have set out a desire to complete restoration work to the Brigade Cottage and CRE (where our rescue vehicle is kept) in the next few years, while also adding a new exhibition area at the entrance to the museum.
Long-term goals include fundraising for a new rescue vehicle, anticipated to be required by 2030, and looking to establish a 2nd rescue base in the Cullercoats/Whitley Bay area, allowing a more efficient response to incidents in this area and to the north.
With all our volunteers being unpaid, 100% of a donation is invested into our organisation.
