Watchkeepers on duty
Fundraising in Dartmouth

Become a Watchkeeper?
Volunteers are expected to be prepared to undertake an average of at least two watches per month, and to attend classroom and "on the job" training. This entails two hour sessions devoted to background and theory, once a week for four weeks, followed by practical experience alongside experienced watchkeepers.

The initial fundraising to refurbish and equip the watch station was very successful, thanks to the generosity of many individuals, companies, and other organisations. But although watchkeepers are unpaid volunteers, and as much installation and maintenance work as possible is done by team members, that still leaves substantial running costs to be met.

Friends of Froward Point
The Friends of Froward Point consists of an energetic and imaginative group of ladies who organise fund raising and social activities for the NCI Froward Point station and its watchkeepers.
The group was formed in 2005 and has been very active, raising approx. £4,500 in 12 months. The local community has been hugely encouraging and supportive and there has been extensive press coverage of all the Friends’ functions.
Collecting boxes have been placed in local shops, pubs and clubs. Coffee mornings and cake sales have been popular and a number of one-off events such as a Day at the Devon & Exeter Races and a Wine and Cheese party have been well attended. The Friends produce a quarterly Newsletter with details of their activities.
