Ramsey RNLI urgent shop appeal

Volunteers urgently needed to help run RNLI shop

Ramsey RNLI lifeboat station is appealing for volunteers to help run its shop on Market Hill, near St Paul’s Square. The shop, a vital part of the RNLI charity’s fund raising efforts in Ramsey, needs extra hands to come forward and enable the shop to increase its opening hours.

Kev Christian, Ramsey Lifeboat Operations Manager said:
"RNLI volunteers do not need to go to sea to help save lives. We are keen to hear from anyone who would like to support their local lifeboat crew without getting their feet wet. Volunteers who can give up even just a couple of hours will be made very welcome and will be offered full training.

"The RNLI is a charity which receives no financial support from government. The monies raised by volunteer fundraisers are its lifeblood. Because we are short of volunteers to crew the shop it means that opening hours are limited.”

The shop is well appointed and stocks a wide variety of lifeboat and local branded goods, clothing, toys, gifts and cards and until recently was open for five days a week.
