Solent Rescue, has received a boost this month - thanks to a donation from Bluestar.
“We feel it is hugely important to support charities, schools and other organisations within the local areas where we run bus services - and many people living in and visiting Southampton waterside travel with us,” said Bluestar’s Calum Noble-Gresty.
“We even run a special Beach Bus to @Lepe Beach during the summer months.
“It was great to meet the volunteers who work tirelessly to help those in distress along our coastline. I’m delighted we are able to support this very worthy cause, by making a donation from our Community Fund.”
Bluestar’s Community Fund is open for applications from charities, sports teams and schools throughout the year - with funding and support donated during two specific months. The next round of donations will take place in January 2020.

Solent Rescue is an independent Lifeboat organisation based at Lepe Country Park in Exbury, Hampshire.
The rescue organisation was established in 1971, initially as a beach rescue unit but has since developed into a rescue unit that has inshore rescue capabilities. As part of a wider framework of Independent and RNLI operated lifeboats on the South Coast, Solent Rescue helps to monitor the waters of the Western Solent, as well as providing land-based support to Lepe Country Park.

Solent Rescue is operational at weekends from Easter until September, bank holidays and Daytime coverage during the 7 days of the Festival of Cowes week, while crew training takes place all year round.
