“Another fantastic show of dedication to training from all the crew. They train hard, they work hard and they always make me so proud.”
Emma and Lucy H signed up as volunteers at RNLI Rye Harbour one year ago on July 10 2022. They very quickly completed their shore crew plan and are now storming ahead with the boat crew one. They are a great asset to the station and are very dedicated, having found their fellow crew members supportive and motivating.
