Who are we?
We are a prevention / rescue / recovery group set up in 1790 to cover the waterways of the Greater Glasgow Area. We are based in Glasgow Green.
What do we do?
At the moment our work is mostly prevention and advisory, although we still give safety cover to all river and riverbank users in the tidal section upstream of the weir at Glasgow Green and during events in the park. Negotiations with other emergency services are still ongoing.
Who benefits?
The people who use the river for sporting and recreational purposes, which includes 14 rowing clubs, canoeists and The Rutherglen Cruising Club who make daily use of the River. Commuters, members of the public and tourists who visit along the river bank and walkway. Assistance is also given to the other emergency services.
