New inshore lifeboat helm at Hartlepool RNLI
Following several months of training Hartlepool RNLI volunteer crewmember Jamie Northey has passed the inshore lifeboat helm course to join the other seven helms at the Ferry Road lifeboat station.
Hartlepool RNLI coxswain Matt Adams said 'The inshore lifeboat helm is a very important and responsible role, often requiring sound judgement and leadership in challenging and hazardous conditions. Jamie's hard work has paid off and I am sure he will continue to develop his skills with the charity as we move on.'
