What
is the RNLI?.
For
more on the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, please visit
our What is the RNLI?
section.
Where
is the lifeboat station?
We
are situated in Cullercoats Bay, which is just off the main
seafront road, that runs long the coast from Tynemouth to
Northumberland. (Take a look at the maps)
I
want to join the crew...
We
are on the lookout for enthusiastic and dedicated volunteer
crew members. If successful you will join our existing 20+
crew members and be part one of the UK's most prestigious
lifeboat stations.
Due
to us being one of the fastest launching boats in the RNLI
fleet the need for you to live or work within 4 miles of the
station is necessary. You should be aged between 17 and 35,
and in good physical condition.
Being
part of the crew is time-consuming we expect you to show up
at least once every two weeks and take a dedicated approach
towards your personal crew training with the assistance of
our Training Co-ordinator. However demanding your role will
be, the personal rewards in helping to save someone's life
is vast.
If
interested, come down to the Cullercoats Lifeboat Station
on a Sunday morning (open from 9am until about 12.00pm) and
get a feel for the station and meet our crew.
If
you have anymore questions regarding joining the crew that
you want addressed, just e-mail us at newcrew@cullercoatslifeboat.co.uk.
