A “critical” appeal has been launched to keep the volunteer Nith Inshore Rescue team afloat after a crippling 40 per cent drop in donations and a hefty rise in running costs.
The charity, which needs around £35,000 a year to operate, provides vital lifeboat rescue services for the Upper Solway area.
It is now seeking 600 core supporters – individuals, families and businesses – who would be willing to sign up to give small but regular donations to sustain the wholly volunteer-run team.
