Young Volunteer Daniel Wood earns Blue Peter Silver badge for RNLI Fundraising
We are all very proud of our young volunteer, Daniel Wood, who has been awarded a Blue Peter Silver badge for his fundraising efforts for St Peter Port Lifeboat Station
To earn a Blue Peter Silver badge, you need to show kindness by doing something for your community or another person. This could include activities like fundraising, volunteering, or speaking up against injustice.
Daniel, along with his dad Kyle, started fundraising back in 2023. He has been a brilliant help on our various fundraising days at different shows throughout the summer, as well as on our flag days throughout the year.
Daniel and his nana have signed up for this years RNLI Reindeer Run Challenge 2024! Which will see Daniel and his nana run 24 miles throughout December. That's one mile for every hour RNLI volunteers are on call, even on Christmas Day.

Its a fun and festive way to get active and be a lifesaver.
