Excellence in Volunteering Award - Suzie Jupp - Poole Lifeboat Station
Suzie is not only a proficient Helm but she is extremely giving and supportive, usually the instigator of everything that goes on off the water at the station.
Suzie represents the crew at the management group meetings, she is one of the chief organisers of the Open Day, she always helps with the fundraising and manages the crew fund.
There really is no end to her talents she even bakes cracking cakes, Suzie supports so many people in so many ways. So it’s quite fitting that the RNLI Chairman and council recorded their sincere thanks and recognised Suzie’s invaluable contribution to Poole Lifeboat.
Our LOM Paul Glatzel proudly presented Suzie with her much deserved award.
