Could you join our team? We are looking for new volunteers to join us and are seeking people with a wide range of skills and backgrounds.  If you think we could be for you and you have time to give, we want to hear from you. 

We are seeking operational crew for the lifeboat, shore crew to help launch and recover our lifeboats, deputy launching authorities, fundraisers, a deputy press officer and a community safety officer, to promote safety awareness in the community.  

Soon we'll be taking delivery of a new, state of the art Shannon class lifeboat, which will require additional volunteers to keep her in tip-top condition like our current Mersey Class which has been in service for nearly thirty years and has been involved in more than 150 rescues. There will also be a new boathouse which, apart from housing the lifeboats, will have upgraded facilities for the crew and shore helpers and will allow greater access to the public. It will have its own gift shop which will require additional staff to run it. 

On Saturday, 19 October, we are holding a Volunteer Recruitment Event at the current boathouse at the bottom of Beach Road, Wells-next-the-Sea between 11am and 3pm. Come down and see us, talk to people like you and meet our volunteers... we can tell you what's involved and what's to be gained by becoming part of the Wells Lifeboat Station RNLI family. You don't have to live in Wells' we have a number of volunteers who live quite a long way from the station.

It would help if we know you are coming as we have limited free parking available for the event.  Email us at wells@rnli.org.uk or ring the boathouse on 01328 710230 and we will look forward to welcoming you.
