Founded in 1824 the
RNLI is a charity that
saves lives at sea, since its conception over 137,000 lives have been saved
thanks to our dedicated crews. The RNLI receives no government funding for
it’s lifeboat service and is therefore 100% reliant on public support for
its continuation.
Since 2001 Weston-super-Mare’s lifeboat has launched 344 times. They have
rescued 215 people, including swimmers, leisure craft users, windsurfers,
fishermen and people stranded by the rising tide.
The Weston-super-Mare crew live within the local community, all are
volunteers, giving up their time and risking their lives by responding to
launches at a moments notice.
Through your support we want to raise enough money to continue to train and
equip these brave volunteers, like the newest member of the
Weston-super-Mare team, Simon Cresser who recently joined the crew.
In recognition of their hard work and commitment, we are looking for runners
to join our RNLI Crew Support Team in the Tough Ten Challenge and raise
money in support of the station. To find out more information, or to sign up

With your help, we can continue to save lives at sea.
