The RNLI’s Seahouses Lifeboat Station is calling on individuals from all walks of life to join its incredible team of volunteers. Whether you’re looking to give back to your community, develop new skills, or be part of a lifesaving mission, there’s a role for everyone at Seahouses.
Established in 1827, Seahouses Lifeboat Station has a proud history of saving lives at sea. But the station’s success relies on more than just its lifeboat crew. Volunteers play a vital role in every aspect of the RNLI’s work, from fundraising and education to operational leadership and shop support.
Why volunteer at Seahouses?
Volunteering with the RNLI is about more than saving lives -it’s about being part of a community. It’s a chance to:
- Learn new skills: From leadership and teamwork to communication and problem-solving, RNLI volunteers gain valuable experience that can benefit them in all areas of life.
- Make lifelong connections: Join a supportive and inclusive team of like-minded individuals who share a passion for helping others.
- Give back to your community: Play a vital role in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of those who live, work, and play by the water.
Who can volunteer?
The RNLI welcomes volunteers from all backgrounds and skill sets. You don’t need to be a lifeboat crew member to make a difference. Many roles, such as fundraising, shop volunteering, or education, can be carried out by those living further afield. For operational roles, such as the current Lifeboat Operations Manager (LOM) opportunity, living or working within 20 minutes of the station is essential.
