Payment will be made via a suggested donation and all funds will go directly to Burnham-on-Sea lifeboat station.

Miele Ward, interim Regional Service Manager said: “We are all aware of the important role that the RNLI has, in saving lives at sea and wanted to do something to help.

"On the day we expect to have between six and eighteen members of staff (all volunteers) on-site ready to wash. Besides raising funds, we also wish to promote awareness of the RNLI's importance.”

Burnham Operations Manager Matt Davies added: “We welcome the support from the service team, some of whom are associated with the RNLI in other parts of the region. Thank you from all our volunteers and fundraisers.”
