Herts Boat Rescue is a non-profit making voluntary charity. Primarily providing volunteer flood rescue teams to support the UK's national flood response capability. In addition and due to the expertise of the team, safety consultation and safety cover for planned activities such as triathlons and other events in and around water is provided.
Established in 1996 as a specialist arm of the Bishop Stortford Lifesaving Club, the Herts Boat Rescue team has grown significantly but still keeps close links with BSLC. Many of the current team are also active with BSLC.
Our aim is to save lives and help make water safer through education and incident prevention.
