The Glasgow Humane Society, one of Scotland's oldest charities, provides a vital life saving service on the Clyde saving the lives of over 800 people over the last 10 years. The charity celebrated its 221st birthday recently with the launch of a fundraising appeal for a new patrol boat.
The “Riverman Appeal” aims to raise £100,000 from the public and local businesses to purchase the new patrol boat and support vehicle and new life-saving equipment to continue its vital work on the River Clyde and the city’s waterways.
Speaking at the launch Glasgow’s Lord Provost Bob Winter said: “The Glasgow Humane Society is an important and well-loved society to which thousands owe their lives.
