Merseyside Water Rescue is a local volunteer-based Search and Rescue charity and our aim is to preserve life in and around water. We operate our voluntary rescue boat around the south Liverpool Docks every Friday & Saturday night, provide pro-active water safety / drowning prevention advice to those in need. 

We aim to be there in the vital few minutes between a person entering the water and the arrival of the emergency services when the risk to life is greatest though cold water shock and drowning. We have saved lives.
