It was an absolute pleasure to meet Craig from Coastal Foraging with Craig Evans. Craig recently ran a course to raise some much needed funds for the lifeboat.

Taking advantage of the break in the sunshine for some foul weather training.

Pub landlady Sue (plus friends) getting into the swing of it. Dont forget there's a band on in the White Lion Ferryside at 4, plus the famous (or maybe infamous) Ferryside Lifeboat BBQ. ALL in aid of the lifeboat.

And we are off! Programmes are available from the village square, as well as the boathouse, Pryd, the White Lion and many other venues.

The lifeboat station is open all afternoon along with the gardens. Members of the public will be able to try our kit on, climb on the main lifeboat and have a chat with the crew.

Despite the best efforts of the great British summer, our annual garden crawl is still on! Albeit with a few adjustments to the programme. Looking forward to seeing you all later!!

We’re all volunteers - so every penny goes to keeping the boat on the water

This morning's capsize drills. Massive thanks to Zodiac Milpro UK and Tom Parry for the loan of a boat. #StrongerTogether @ZodiacMilproUK

It is with sadness that we yesterday had to say goodbye to one of our longest serving crew members, Ship's Dog, Blue. Blue will be very much missed around the lifeboat station, even though we will now be able to eat our bacon sandwiches in safety. Fair winds and blue sky Blue!!!
