Newhaven RNLI is calling on members of the public to support the RNLI’s Mayday fundraising campaign by signing up to take part in a Mayday Mile.
Participants would need to complete the challenge of covering a mile a day throughout May.
The RNLI has revealed its lifeboats launched over 9,100 times in 2023. Funds raised will help support the charity’s vital lifesaving work, including the provision of important training and kit for the volunteer lifeboat crews.
Carol Shewell, Volunteer Events Team Leader, says:
"Summer is the busiest time of year for the RNLI, with thousands of people at risk of getting into danger by the water. Having recently marked the RNLI’s 200th anniversary, we’re putting out our call for help to raise the funds which will help keep our lifesaving service going today and into the future.
"As a charity we rely on the generosity of the public to take part in events like the Mayday Mile and raise the funds that allow us to be there when we’re needed most."
Newhaven RNLI’s Mayday fundraiser is being held on Sunday, May 19 along Seaford Seafront.
