The images here are of the Mallaig lifeboat 'Henry Alston Hewat', a Severn class boat which celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2026. The lifeboat and crew are at the heart of the Mallaig and wider Lochaber community.

Simon Bradshaw is one of a small band of volunteers who support the station and wider RNLI by organising fundraising events throughout the year. Over 3 days, 16th to 18th April 2026, Simon and his two sons, Charlie and Ben, will attempt to climb the 3 peaks: Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) to raise funds for the RNLI.

Please sponsor us and help raise much needed funds to keep our lifeboats on station.

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.

Simon Bradshaw
