RNLI St Davids recruiting volunteers to re-open station shop
St Davids RNLI are recruiting volunteers to staff its station fundraising shop after being closed since the pandemic hit in 2020.
Interested people have an opportunity to talk to fundraisers about the important role at the station between 9am and midday on Saturday 20th January. The charity’s all-weather lifeboat Norah Wortley will launch on a training exercise at 9:30am, demonstrating the lifesaving work that each vital sale helps to fund.
John Williams, RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager for St Davids, says: ‘We are delighted to be reopening our station shop but we need volunteers to help run it. Volunteers will receive full training and become part of the charity’s St Davids family, working in our state of the art station in St Justinians. All funds raised help in our mission to save lives at sea.’
