This year, I'm running the London Marathon to raise funds that will help keep the lifeboat afloat for a week! It costs around £65,000 a year to operate our independent lifeboat, so hitting my target of £1,250 would mean the world to me.

As a Coxswain at Hornsea Rescue, I understand just how vital this service is and how hard the volunteers work to ensure the lifeboat is ready to go 24/7. With your support and my crazy idea of running a marathon, I hope we can raise enough to keep the lifeboat running for another week!

Thank you 😊

Hornsea Inshore Rescue is an independent lifeboat that was established thanks to the strong support of the local community, who believed our services were needed in a coastal community that attracts thousands of visitors throughout the year. Since we began in 1994 we have been involved in the saving of lives.

From our humble beginnings in a pig shed to our new purpose-built boat house and sea safe educational centre, our volunteers are operational throughout the year. But we are so much more than just a lifeboat crew. As well as providing a life-saving inshore rescue service we also have a team of highly trained volunteers who deliver educational talks and presentations to local businesses and schools, and RYA approved courses on being safe at sea.

All of this is done with the support of local people, Hornsea Inshore Rescue receives no funding from the Government or from the RNLI. We couldn't do the life-saving work that we do without your help.
