The RNLI Jersey lifeboat crews and beach lifeguards are going to be kicking off their 2019 fundraising campaign this weekend by completing a boat pull on King Street in St Helier.
On Saturday 5th January the volunteer crews from both St Helier and St Catherine, as well as local RNLI lifeguards, are going to be undertaking the physical task to raise money for the RNLI. The boat pull will start at approximately 10:00 at the St Helier Lifeboat Station. The lifeboat crews and lifeguards will be pulling the boat from the St Helier Station, up King Street and then will be returning to the station.
There will also be a special visit from the RNLI mascot, Stormy Stan, as he will complete the challenge alongside the RNLI volunteers.
The aim of the event is to raise as much money as possible for RNLI Jersey, which depends on donations to help meet the cost of saving lives at sea. The volunteer lifeboat crew members give their time for free, but they need training, well-maintained equipment, lifeboats and shore facilities which all come at a cost.
Between approximately 10:30 and 14:30 the volunteers will be on King Street and there will be the chance to take some photos with the crew and Stormy Stan!
There will also be the opportunity to speak to the crew and ask any questions about the RNLI.
