RNLI station issues call for more volunteers
South Shields’ closest RNLI station is asking for more volunteers.
The RNLI station which covers much of South Tyneside’s coastline is asking for support from new volunteers.
While based in North Tyneside, Tynemouth’s RNLI station regularly picks up calls regarding incidents along the South Shields coastline.
As we enter the summer months, the team are looking for volunteer crew members for the station’s inshore lifeboat.
Anyone wanting to get involved will need to respond to call-outs after an initial training programme has been completed. They will also be responsible for the overall upkeep to the station and boats in addition to being in call for when people along the North East coast may be in danger.
Anyone considering applying can see more information and requirements on the volunteering pages on the RNLI’s website.
