Waverley’s COVID-19 Relief Appeal
The impact of Covid-19 has resulted in a lack of vital funds to meet the cost of routine winter maintenance on Waverley. In order to return to service this summer Waverley must be dry docked – currently there are insufficient funds to meet this cost – Waverley needs your help to survive the impact of Covid-19.
Our Covid-19 Relief Appeal is open with a target of £350,000 to be raised from individual donations – so far over £325,000 has been donated – we are nearly there!
All donations, large or small, are greatly appreciated and will help ensure that Waverley survives. Donate online now by visiting our donation page.
If you have already donated check out our Virtual Donor Wall and see you name listed.
Support Waverley by making a small monthly donation by Direct Debit. From as little as £5.20 per month you can play your part and help safeguard Waverley in operation. Sign up online today.
