The St Austell Coastguard Rescue Team is on the lookout for new volunteer members to join their ranks. With a focus on helping the local community, the team is encouraging people from St Austell, Par and Fowey to come forward if they have what it takes to respond in emergencies.

Volunteers play a vital role in life-saving operations, including:
