Story
Emma was just the most wonderful, generous, kind person any one of us could wish to meet. Full of fun and energy, it is hard for us to begin to comprehend our lives without her. Our hearts are broken.
One of Emma's biggest loves was the ocean....from exploring exotic waters whilst scuba diving, to taking her skippers course and racing across the waves.....it was her happy place.
The RNLI was a cause very close to Emma's heart and it would be such a fitting memory to donate to this volunteer-led organisation.
Emma and her husband Mark in particular loved their jet-ski days at Swanage, and we are raising funds specifically for the Swanage Lifeboat Station.
With much love & thanks.
We Love You, Ems xxxx
The Swanage Lifeboat station was established at Peveril Point in 1875 at the request of the local residents as a result of the wreck of the Brig Wild Wave on 23 January 1875. The station was opened on the 16th of September 1875 at a cost of £525 for the boathouse and slipway and a further £389 for the boat.
The current lifeboat station is situated on the original 1875 site on the southern side of Swanage Bay, Dorset and was rebuilt in 2015/2016 to accommodate the station’s new Shannon class lifeboat. The station now has two boats, an all weather Shannon class, launched down a slipway and a D class inshore lifeboat
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.
