Help Us Keep Watch
The National Coastwatch Institution receives no direct government or statutory funding. Every penny raised goes directly to maintaining our station at Rhossili and safeguarding visitors on the coast.
How Your Donation Helps
Here is what your generosity directly funds at Worms Head Lookout:
Optics & Telescopes
High-powered spotting scopes and marine binoculars to sweep the causeway and outer bay for people in distress.
VHF Marine Radios
Radio licenses, emergency transmitters, and dedicated Channel 65 receivers for boat safety checks.
Weather Telemetry
Real-time wind sensors, barometer stations, and tide gauges crucial for predicting sea condition changes.
Training & Uniforms
Accredited safety modules, SAR training kits, and foul-weather gear for our volunteer watchkeepers.
How You Can Donate
Whether it is a one-off donation, a regular monthly gift, or a drop in our collection box on the cliff, every contribution keeps our lookout operational 365 days a year.
Online Donation
Donate safely and securely online via the official NCI fundraising portal (JustGiving / NCI National).
