Buy a bit - It will help a lot
As you may know we are starting work on our new mountain rescue base. The rescue base is the result of years of planning, fundraising and a major effort from the “Glen” team. The base will comprise of a fully enclosed and secured vehicle storage area, a rescue equipment cleaning, drying and storage facility, a training Room, and an operations room with all the necessary communications equipment to provide coordination and backup for complicated or extended emergencies.
The team is 100% voluntary, with all members on call 24/7 to attend emergencies in the Wicklow Mountains. There are, on average, about 50 incidents every year, and the team relies entirely on donations and grants to run this life-saving 999/112 service.
If you ‘buy a bit’ we will make sure your name and contribution is recorded for all posterity. Building a base will help all aspects of our rescue capabilities and act as a valuable training resource.
Our donations are accepted through PayPal which provides a safe and secure method for on-line donation. You don't need a PayPal a/c as it also accepts Visa & Mastercard etc.
A Brick
| The starting place of any building! You have to start somewhere so we need a lot of bricks to get the base going. | €5.00 |
| ||
A Block
| The bigger cousin of the brick! Our building needs a good few of these just to keep some of the walls up. | €20.00 |
| ||
A Slate | What building would be complete without a roof. Each slate you buy will make things that little bit drier for the team. | €25.00 |
| ||
A Log
| The main part of the building will be a wooden/log cabin style structure in keeping with our environmentally friendly principles. Every log helps make the building that bit warmer & drier. | €50.00 |
| ||
A Window Pane
| We would like your help turn those holes in the wall into something more useful. A good window will let in the light and keep in the heat | €75.00 |
| ||
A Solar Panel  | Just in case the sun does actually shine with your help we could turn the sun light into something that will help heat the building. | €100.00 |
| ||
An Aerial  | We need to be able to contact our team members on the hill. You buying us a radio antenna could save us a lot of shouting. | €200.00 |
| ||
A Rainwater Harvester  | As you may know it tends to rain a lot in the mountains. Our aim is to reduce, reuse & recycle. Harvesting rainwater will allow us to minimise our use of ‘domestic’ water for each flush and wash, doing our bit for the environment. | €500.00 |
