Friends of the Glen team (FOG)

So, you’d like to help? We’d be delighted if you could! Since we’re all volunteers, it is difficult to find enough hours in the week to participate in team training, attend meetings, respond to emergencies and also to fundraise!

We hope we’re doing a great job, but we really do need your help in order to raise sufficient funds to keep the Glen Team running smoothly in the areas of training, equipment and now with our campaign to build a Mountain Rescue Base in Wicklow.

Here’s how you can help us…

How you can help

All team members give their time on a voluntary basis, and we rely on the generosity of the public for our operations. To make a donation from any bank just use back account number 59244771, sort code 90-65-07. Our registered charity number is CHY.3950.

 

Pager Appeal

To alert as many members as possible at the beginning of an incident the team uses the Eirpage paging system as well as mobile phone texting. While mobile phone coverage is excellent in urban and most rural areas, we are still dependant on pagers in the remote mountainous areas to get that important message through. Unfortunately, because of the reduced use of paging in the comercial world, paging receivers are becoming expensive and hard to get. The Team is in urgent need for your unused Motorola MemoExpress Pagers. If you have any sitting around in office drawers etc. they may be of use to us. Please contact the Communications Officer at noledaly@gmail.com  if you would like to donate them to the team.
