Patrol volunteers work as part of a team and are trained to support the work safely and appropriately.

You do not need previous experience to apply. Training is provided, and volunteers build their skills over time.

• Over 18 years old
• Reasonably fit

WMSAR volunteer roles also include:
♦️ Search, Rescue & Recovery Operations

🍂 Saturday Night Su***de Prevention Patrol

Another beautiful sunny autumn day here in Waterford today, a real treat for the last Saturday of September.

As the night draws in, our volunteers are getting ready for tonight’s Su***de Prevention Patrol, covering Waterford’s quays and surrounding areas and continuing into the small hours of Sunday morning.

The change of season can bring a change of pace too. For some, weekends are full of plans and people; for others, they can feel a little lonely. It’s always worth looking out for the people around us and making time for a chat, a text or a quick call. ❤️

And if you’re finding things difficult tonight, please take that first step and talk to somebody you trust or contact one of the supports below. 💙

An early start for members of our Search & Rescue team this morning as they made the journey to Lough Ennell in Co.Westmeath to assist with the ongoing multi-agency search for a missing person.

The search has now entered its seventh day, with emergency services and voluntary search and rescue teams coming together from across the country to support the operation.

Our crew will be working alongside the other teams on the water today as the search continues.

Our thoughts are with the missing person’s family and friends, and with everyone involved in the search

☀️ Saturday Night Su***de Prevention Patrol

We were treated to a lovely sunny September day here in Waterford today, and hopefully plenty of you got the chance to enjoy it.

As Saturday evening settles in, our volunteers are heading out for tonight’s Su***de Prevention Patrol, covering Waterford’s quays and surrounding areas and continuing into the small hours of Sunday morning.

There doesn’t need to be a particular reason to check in with someone. If you haven’t heard from a friend or family member in a while, tonight might be a good time to send that message, make the call or simply say hello. ❤️

And if you’re having a difficult night yourself, please talk to somebody you trust or reach out to one of the supports below. 💙

🍂 Saturday Night Su***de Prevention Patrol

We’re settling into September now, with the evenings getting shorter and that first real sense of autumn beginning to creep in.

Our volunteers are preparing for tonight’s Su***de Prevention Patrol, covering Waterford’s quays and surrounding areas and continuing into the small hours of Sunday morning.

As routines return after the summer and the pace of life shifts again, it’s worth remembering to check in with the people around you. Sometimes a simple message or a quick call is all it takes to open up a conversation ❤️

💛 World Su***de Prevention Day 2026💛

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day, a day to encourage open conversations around su***de and mental health, to listen without judgement and to remind people that it is okay to talk when things are difficult.

This evening, we will also gather at Waterford Marine Search & Rescue for our annual Remembrance Service and Laying of Wreaths, giving people an opportunity to come together and remember those whose lives have been lost to su***de.

Anyone who would like to attend is warmly welcome.

📅 Tonight, Thursday 10 September
🕗 8pm
📍 Waterford Marine Search & Rescue HQ Park Road, Waterford
💐 Remembrance Service followed by the Laying of Wreaths on the river

Changing the narrative around su***de starts with conversation. Reaching out, checking in and taking the time to listen can make a real difference.
