Volunteering is the backbone of the RNLI and Rye Harbour lifeboat station is looking for more crew to join the team:
Shore crew
Boat crew
Head launchers
Tractor drivers
This is an exciting opportunity to receive world-class training, learn new skills, meet new friends and Save Lives at Sea. The Rye Harbour lifeboat crew is a dedicated group of men and women all working together for a common cause and the volunteers are very welcoming to new recruits.
If you are interested to know more you can email rye-harbour@rnli.org.uk or phone 01797 223693 and leave us a message. We promise to get back to you as soon as possible.
Best of all, pop into the station on Sunday mornings or Monday evenings from 6.00pm onwards to see how we work and to meet the crew.
The team is dedicated and this week saw many of the crew passing assessments to further strengthen their skills and readiness for dealing with all aspects of shouts as they occur.
Martin Bruce, the Chairman of Rye Harbour Lifeboat station, commented: “Congratulations to the crew who all passed their assessments today with Gary Stanbury, assessor and trainer. Tim Dickinson passed out as tractor driver and Stuart Clark and Paul Ramsey were revalidated on the tractor. Stuart, Paul and Luke Bishop passed out as head launchers.
Congratulations to them all and thank you to Chris King and Dave Rees for assisting their endeavours.”
Gary Stanbury also commented: “I always enjoy coming to RNLI Rye Harbour as the crew is so welcoming. The volunteers’ dedication and commitment to striving to be the best they can be is infectious. Well done to all who passed out today.”
