The National Coastwatch Institution at Needles Station has 65 faithfully volunteer watch keepers, who operate the lookout every day, keeping an eye on sea and land. The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service is well-deserved!
Last year the 70 wonderful volunteer watchkeepers kept lookout at Needles Coastwatch for 6,710 hours, maintaining the station for 365 days in all weathers. Well done to them all!
Described as a dedicated team of "volunteer guardian angels on the cliffs", the Needles National Coastwatch team recently passed re-assessment of their Declared Facility Status.
