MORE volunteers are needed to help launch the Burnham lifeboats as two members of the shore team have progressed to probationary boat crew status.
Men and women over the age of 18 are welcome to apply and ideally should be able to attend the lifeboat station quickly when paged for emergency attendance.
No experience is necessary and full training is provided.
Lifeboat operations manager Matt Davies said: “Working within the RNLI can be very satisfying and team members often develop life-long friendships.
“Shore team members may progress to boat crew, if young enough, or become involved in tractor driving.
“Of course, this is also dependent on operational requirements.”
Prospective volunteers should attend a Wednesday evening training session at the headquarters in Pier Street and make themselves known to a member of the lifeboat station management team, where they will be able to discuss requirements in detail.
