What is NCI?
NCI consists of a number of watch stations located around the coasts of England, Scotland and Wales. New stations are added as funds and volunteers come forward.
Each station is organised by a Station Manager and manned by volunteer watchkeepers. Stations operate different hours but St Alban’s Head aims to be open seven days per week from 10.00 to 17.00 or sunset, whichever is the earlier. If we have sufficient watchkeepers, these hours may be extended.
A small headquarter’s staff is responsible for running the whole institution, raising funds from the business sector and setting the national training standards. An ‘Organisation Tree’ is shown on the next page.
Each station is responsible for raising money locally to fund its own operations, corporate money being raised by HQ to fund the administrative activities and, when sufficient cash is available, to provide start up loans for new stations.
