Coastguard's drive to recruit new rescue volunteers
To Rescue shows a rescue from the perspective of a person who has fallen down a cliff and captures the moment the coastguard rescue officer arrives with the casualty and gets them to safety.
Coastguard officers help rescue people trapped on the coast, be it on cliffs, stuck in mud or in the water and search for missing people.

Hide AdCharlie Ball, head of coastal operations, said: ‘Coastguard rescue officers are at the frontline in the delivery of rescue response along all the UK’s coastline.
‘If you want to join a dynamic and skilled search and rescue team we’ll ensure you get the training and the opportunities required. All we ask in return is that you are situated within 20 minutes of the Coastguard base, and can be available to respond.’
