FILB operates 2 lifeboats and is on call to the Coast Guard 24 hours a day, 365 days a year covering the area of the South West Isle of Wight. Tasks include helping casualty vessels in need, making recoveries from the cliffs, searches for people and providing safety overwatch from the water.

Story

Izzy is a local supporter in the village who has helped us in many ways over the past years.

Not content with raising funds for Freshwater Independent Lifeboat walking the huge challenge of the Pilgrim way across Northern Spain Izzy is now taking on a new challenge raising funds for us.

He is now amazingly going to cycle from coast to coast across the Pyrenees on his mountain bike, a distance of over 725 km.

And this challenge will be completed in 7 days!!

PS. He also makes the best baguettes on the Island😊

If you wish you can donate by filling in the donation sheets at the Duo Bar in Freshwater Village.
