It's officially the start of UK Volunteers' Week and at Hoylake RNLI, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who gives their time and energy to help us save lives at sea as part of our
Thank you to the brave men and women who are always ready to launch to the rescue 24/7 on our all-weather Shannon class lifeboat, Inshore Rescue Hovercraft, and on our tractor and shore crews.
We’re grateful to our Lifeboat Operations Manager, Launch Authorities, boathouse team and committee members who manage our rescue operations and help keep the lifeboat station running, and to our Lifeboat Press Officer for showcasing our lifesaving work to the public and the media.
As the charity that saves lives at sea, we’re hugely grateful to all the amazing fundraisers and shop volunteers whose efforts all year round ensure we have the vital funds we need to keep people safe along our coast.
Educating the public about water safety is essential for saving lives, so thank you to our Lifeboat Visits Officer, Visits and Water Safety teams for welcoming visitors to our station, going out to speak to schools, clubs and groups, and supporting the RNLI’s drowning prevention work.
And finally, none of our volunteers could save lives without the support of our families and loved ones. Whether it’s for their understanding when the pagers go off in the middle of the night or volunteering their own time and efforts at fundraising and social events, thank you for everything you do.
