Ever been rescued by Bridlington RNLI, tell us your story?
Bridlington RNLI on the lookout for individuals rescued by crew in the past for RNLI200.
2024 is a huge year for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. The RNLI will celebrate 200 years of ‘Saving Lives at Sea’. To commemorate this milestone, the volunteers at Bridlington RNLI will be holding several events throughout the year, details of which will be released over the next few months.
To commemorate RNLI200 at Bridlington RNLI, we are hoping to speak with anyone who has been part of a Bridlington RNLI rescue over the years by our crew and what the RNLI means to you and your loved ones. So, if you want to get involved, think you could help by telling us your story, get in touch. It does not matter how big, how small or what the rescue was, we just want you to tell us what that rescue meant to you, your family, did it change your life or inspire you to help others or even volunteer for any organisation?
Lynn Shaw, Bridlington RNLI Chair said, ‘2024 is going to be a huge year not only for volunteers of Bridlington RNLI but also for the whole organisation. Not only do we want to celebrate and tell the story of the past 200 years, as we get ready to celebrate our bicentennial, but we would so much like to be able to speak to anyone out of the organisation who is willing to tell us how a previous rescue has affected them. So, if you have a story to tell us, please get in touch’
