On the 10th May 2020 my daughter Harriet was due to take part in the Lymington RNLI 10k and kids‘ fun run. She is 2 years old and this would have been her first 1k run, no doubt with a little walking and an ice cream as an incentive!

I am one of the volunteers at the station and this is typically the biggest fundraiser in the Lymington RNLI station’s calendar. We are supported and run by volunteers, and funding comes wholly from public donations. Given the current circumstances relating to Covid-19, the event has been cancelled this year and will be a huge loss to the station.

All donations would be greatly appreciated! 

Too many people are still drowning. More than ever we need the RNLI’s help. As a charity, the RNLI depends on our donations so it can go on saving lives and keeping us and our loved ones safe. RNLI lifesavers are our lifeline. They’re the lifeboat crews who provide 24-hour search and rescue right around the UK and Ireland. The lifeguards keeping watch on 240 of the busiest beaches in the UK and Channel Islands. And the RNLI safety teams and educators working tirelessly to stop people getting into trouble in the first place.

Thank you.
