Scarborough RNLI volunteer crew ready to take on the Cleveland Way Challenge
Scarborough RNLI is calling on members of the public to support Scarborough RNLI on the Cleveland Way Challenge which will start Friday 26 September 2025.
Our challenge team made up of volunteer crew members has been training hard over the past few weeks with runs and walks along the Cleveland Way and across the UK, preparing to take on the full challenge. Every step is in aid of raising vital funds for Scarborough RNLI.
All money raised goes directly towards training and equipping our volunteers so they can continue saving lives at sea, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
If you’d like to show your support, please consider making a donation through our JustGiving page:

Between Friday 26 and Saturday 27 September 2025, volunteers from Scarborough Lifeboat Crew will take on the 110 mile Cleveland Way, from Filey to Helmsley in a non-stop relay. With around 5000m of elevation, along the North Yorkshire Coastline then across the North York Moors National Park, the team will run and walk in a relay meaning there will always be someone on the go!

Every single donation brings us one step closer to supporting the RNLI saving Lives at Sea
Funds raised will help support the charity’s vital lifesaving work, including the provision of important training and kit for volunteer lifeboat crews who readily respond to emergency calls and go to sea to save others whenever the call for help comes in.
Roger Buxton, volunteer lifeboat operations manager Scarborough, said: ‘Having recently marked the RNLI’s 200th anniversary last year, we’re putting out our call for help to raise the funds which will help keep our lifesaving service going today and into the future. A huge THANK YOU to our incredible supporters so far.
We are absolutely blown away by your generosity for our 110 mile Cleveland Way Relay from Filey to Helmsley taking place Friday 26th to Saturday 27th September 2025. Together, you have helped us raise 65% of our target already ’
‘As a charity we rely on the generosity of the public to take part in events like this crew challenge and raise the funds that allow us to be there when we’re needed most.’
