New Online Clothing Store

Support the Coastguard Association and promote being part of the Coastguard Rescue Service with our brand-new range of clothing.

The Coastguard Association has teamed up with SuperLogo to bring you a range of Coastguard branded clothing and accessories, with a percentage of each sale supporting our charity. Clothing has been a request for many years but due to costs and logistics, it wasn’t something which was feasible for the volunteer committee to facilitate – until now!

Now with the help of our partners at SuperLogo, we have a range of embroidered and printed t-shirts, hooded tops, jackets and accessories which will be made to order and shipped directly to your front door.

This is the first stage of our new merchandise range with additional products planned over the coming months.

Check out our online store provided by SuperLogo at: https://coastguard-association.superlogoshop.co.uk/

Massive thank you to our friends at HM Coastguard Skegness who organised a charity quiz night last weekend and helped raise over £400 for our charity.

The competition was intense with the National Committee also entering a team with our Chair, Treasurer and Welfare Officer joining in the fun and supporting the event.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the event and our charity.

If you’re interested in organising an event or fundraising for our charity, drop us a message on our social channels or send an e-mail to:

As a charity we rely on memberships and donations so we can continue to help our people in their time of need.

Coastguard Association Virtual 5K

Beat the January blues with our brand-new Coastguard Association New Year Virtual 5K event.

Following the successes and continued interest in the CGA 5K organised by several Coastguard Rescue Teams in recent years, we are taking the event national.

We will also be starting the New Year the way we mean to continue by getting healthier and fitter, spending more time outside which is good for both our physical and mental health, and also supporting the charity dedicated to supporting Coastguard personnel and their families in their time of need.

Not a runner? No problem! You can walk, run, swim, cycle, roller skate, hop, skip, jump…..the choice is yours. All we ask is you complete the distance of 5K and you have the whole of January to complete the challenge so it can fit in with your schedule.

Each participant will receive an exquisite medal to mark the occasion. Medals have been received at Digital Media HQ and will be sent out to all participants as soon as registration is complete, so everyone will have their medal in time for completing the event.

Our first national Coastguard Association Virtual 5K is being kindly supported by our friends at Erdinger, who have donated five cases of ERDINGER Alkoholfrei isotonic recovery drinks worth £40 each.

An isotonic refreshment courtesy of ERDINGER Alkoholfrei is the perfect way to end your virtual 5K challenge or any other exercise. All you will need to do to be in with a chance of winning a case of ERDINGER Alkoholfrei is send in a photo of you taking part in the Virtual 5K event.

Sign up online now at: https://www.paypal.com/instantcommerce/checkout/Q85D63ANC7AYE. The entry fee is £15 and all money raised goes directly to helping Coastguard personnel and their families in their time of need.

There is also no requirement to do any additional fundraising, however all participants will be sent a national Virtual 5K GoFundMe page should anyone wish to share with friends and family to raise some additional money.

Donations can be made to support all of our Virtual 5K participants at: Coastguard Association Virtual 5K January 2025 GoFundMe

We are expecting this event to fill up quickly so be quick to sign up and get your medal ahead of our first even national Coastguard Association Virtual 5K.

Thanks as always for the continued support and we are all looking forward to watching the Virtual 5K around the coast.
