For 50 years I have had the privilege of volunteering with the RNLI in my community. To commemorate 60 years of Flint Lifeboat Station, I am undertaking a special fundraising challenge in support of the station and our local environment.

Over six days, I will complete a litter pick along the River Dee from Chester to Flint, collecting rubbish along the route while raising funds for Flint Lifeboat Station.

Having volunteered with the RNLI for 50 years, the lifeboat service is very close to my heart. I have seen first-hand the dedication of the volunteers who give their time to help others, and I wanted to do something meaningful to recognise Flint Lifeboat Station's 60 years of service to our community.

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.

Thank you.
