Bridlington RNLI are to hold an event especially for children as part of the continuing RNLI200 celebrations with ‘Crew for the Day’ event.
As part of the RNLI 200 celebrations in the RNLI bicentenary year, the volunteers at Bridlington RNLI will be holding a ‘Crew for the Day’ for youngsters at Bridlington Lifeboat Station on Saturday, 22 May 2024. The event will take place between 10am-4pm and will give the kids an incite into what it takes to be a volunteer crew member for the day.
On the day there will be that chance to learn new skills, complete challenges, meet our current volunteers, ranging from fundraisers to boat crew and get to see how the Lifeboat Station works. The event is totally free and there will be activities to complete. Primarily the event is aimed at 7-year-olds upwards to those in their teens but there will be activities to suit all ages.
There will also be on display art work produced by students at East Riding College Bridlington on the theme of the RNLI. These will be displayed in the visitor’s centre for one day only.
Anna Needham, Bridlington RNLI volunteer who is the lead on this event said, ‘2024 is a wonderful milestone for us to reach, the RNLI would not have been successful for the past 200 years without the many volunteers since the organisation was formed in 1824. In our bicentenary year we now look forward to inspire our next generation of crew’.
