York Rescue Boat signs up two new patrons

York Rescue Boat, the independent lifeboat and volunteer search and rescue operation in York, has announced its newest patrons – John Lowery and Sara Harding.

John and Sara are both from Events by Cynosure and they organise the Yorkshire Balloon Fiesta every year with York Rescue Boat as one of the Charity Partners.

Dave Horn, Operational Director for the charity said “We are so pleased to have John and Sara on board with YRB and look forward to working alongside them in the future.

“Yorkshire Balloon Fiesta is a huge important fundraising event for YRB and by working closely with John and Sara, we can only continue to raise much needed funds which in turn really does save lives in York”.

John said “It’s a privilege to be asked to be patron of such a great local charity and look forward to helping raise funds necessary” 

Sara said “Having worked with the Rescue Boat as a charity partner for the Yorkshire Balloon Fiesta in 2021, we look forward to working with them not only for the 2022 fiesta but also throughout the year on other projects”
