Silloth Lifeboat Station
Area: Carlisle
Purpose/aim of your organisation:
RNLI lifeboat crews protect hundreds of communities around the UK and Ireland through our 24-hour search and rescue service.
Silloth Lifeboat Station operates from a newly built boathouse on the site of the original Victorian lifeboat station. It’s located on the north-west coast of England in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Lifeboat Crew are all volunteers, headed up by the Lifeboat Operations Manager and Launch Authorities and supported by a Shore Crew team All boat and shore crew follow the RNLI’s national Competency Based Training Scheme and respond to pagers when there is a request to launch the lifeboats.
Volunteering as a member of the Lifeboat Visits Team and being part of the RNLI’s lifeboat Silloth station is an important role within the charity as we aim to save the lives of people of all age groups through our fantastic visits programme.
The RNLI shops started life as simple cake stalls, run by volunteers and their supporters to raise money for the local Lifeboats and stations. These stalls started selling commemorative RNLI products in around 1920 and quickly moved on to selling souvenirs and Christmas cards. The first shop to be run as part of an actual station opened in 1990.
Today we operate 160 RNLI shops and this number is growing, based inland and on the coast across the UK and Ireland, attracting almost 1 million visitors every year selling an excellent range of unique and competitively priced products ranging from jam to clothing, and key rings to model boats, all to raise vital funds for our volunteer crew members and lifeguards.
RNLI Values
As one crew, we strive for excellence and are Trustworthy, Courageous, Selfless and Dependable
Safeguarding
The RNLI is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and vulnerable adults and expects all volunteers to share this commitment and comply with the RNLI Safeguarding Policy and procedures
