________________________________

It takes a crew to save a life.

Aotearoa is an adventure playground, and Kiwis, like you, spend much of their time enjoying the big outdoors and playing on our waterways. And things can go wrong.

Regardless of the day, time, or conditions, Coastguard are on call 24/7, 365 days. They make a significant lifesaving difference across Aotearoa. Our volunteers are just ordinary people doing extraordinary things. They are a mother, a father, a sister, an aunt, a grandfather, or a grandmother. They are people just like you.

Leaving a legacy to Coastguard will impact generations to come.​

Frank's story.

“I want my legacy to go towards a service that needs the funding and relies on volunteers who do a bloody good job. It is such a worthwhile cause.”

Frank has been boating his whole life. A sail-maker by trade, he reckons that he made over 35,000 yacht sails before he retired. He joined Coastguard in the early 1960s and remains a member to this day, even though he’s vastly experienced - with 25,000 ocean racing miles under his belt.

Frank understands the challenges that can arise at a moment’s notice when out at sea. “Knowing that Coastguard is there makes you feel better and gives you reassurance. It’s all about safety.”

You’ll find Frank cruising the ocean every summer with his wife. “It’s comforting to know that if things go wrong at sea you can call Coastguard and they’ll sort it out,” Frank says. To the volunteers who dedicate many hours of their personal time to be there for others who need help, Frank’s message is: “Good on you – you’re a terrific bunch who save lives at sea.”

Frank has left a gift to Coastguard in his Will. “I want my legacy to go towards a service that needs the funding and relies on volunteers who do a bloody good job. It is such a worthwhile cause.”

You don't need to be rich to leave a lifesaving legacy.

You can make a difference and save lives at sea by becoming a Coastguardian,

like Frank Warnock
