If you ever wanted to get into voluntary work now is your chance. Peel lifeboat are looking for volunteers in every aspect of its operations.
The RNLI is run and funded almost totally by volunteers and not all go to sea. There are several ways in which you can help. The front line of course is boat crew and even if you are not a sea going person full professional training is given, the main requirement is that you live within easy reach of the lifeboat station as call out times are usually in the region of seven minutes.
The shore crew is an equally important part of the operations making sure that the lifeboat is launched, recovered and serviced each time it goes to sea.
Finally without the fundraisers none of the operations would happen as the RNLI is funded totally by donations without any government input at all.
If you would like more information on any aspect of the RNLI please contact Paul Cain at the Peel boathouse on Peel breakwater either personally or ring 842309. or ring Mal Kelly on 490251.
