OUR BLOG
Welcome to the official campaign blog for Coastguard Rescue Officers (CROs) nationwide. Here you will find all the most up-to-date information, media appearances, and weekly campaign updates as we organise, mobilise, and fight to protect the UK’s fourth emergency service.
This is our central hub to document the campaign in real time – exposing the reality of front-line rescue work, tracking parliamentary progress, and ensuring every CRO stays informed as we collectively demand a seat at the table. Check back weekly for fresh updates, key actions, and the latest news as we stand together to save our service.

sign the petition today
In just one single month, over 100,000 of you have stood up to say no to the MCA's decision and demand that the Government halts the MCA’s transition to a volunteer-only model and force a formal review of coastal safety implications. This secured the signatures needed to force a debate in Parliament. But our fight to stop the erosion of the UK’s only Category 1 emergency service is far from over. Now, we need you to keep pushing. Sign the petition today, share it with everyone you know, and help us ensure our highly trained rescue officers can continue to answer the call before it is too late. Let's get this over 200,000!
