Saving Lives of Those in Peril on the Sea…

Hamble Independent Lifeboat saves lives in the busy waters of the Solent and Southampton Water.

The two lifeboats, Harry Childs and John and Violet Hurrel, hold the proud record of being the fifth busiest in the UK, last year attending 125 calls by the UK Coastguard and saving 17 lives.

Our Trustees were delighted to help out with a grant of £3,400 to enable them to purchase 10 new Gecko Safety Helmets for their 27 active crew and many members of the public who they assist each year.

“A massive thanks to you and your fellow Trustees for agreeing to award Hamble Lifeboat this grant. PPE is vital for the safety of our crew members and safety helmets are part of that requirement. We save lives year on year and rely 100% on fund raising to continue to operate the service. Without the generous support of businesses like yourselves – and our volunteers – this service would not be able to continue. We are humbled and grateful” – Tim Adams, Bosun
