Trusts and Foundations

Working in Partnership

The IMRF works closely with charitable trusts and foundations. Working in partnership, we have developed projects that make a lasting impact in developing SAR capacity. For example, our, #SARyouOK? and #WomenInSAR projects are both funded by Trinity House.

We Couldn't Have Done It Without You!

We would like to thank all the trusts and foundations that already have given so much valuable support to the IMRF, so we can carry out our work!
