We had the pleasure of showing members of the 'Cameo Club' from Bethany Church. Houghton le Spring around the Ferry Road lifeboat station recently.
The club members have been collecting 5 pence pieces in the RNLI Betty's Pots for several months now.
Hartlepool RNLI chairman Malcolm Cook said 'It was really good to meet our visitors from the church whose donations have definitely helped save lives at sea by supporting the volunteer crewmembers.'
Church member Derek Landers said 'We really enjoyed the visit. We've had a look around the station and the boats which gave us a great insight into the valuable work of the RNLI and it's volunteers.'

Hartlepool RNLI, together with the wider RNLI community, sends our deepest sympathies to everyone affected by the tragic incident on the A66 in the early hours of this morning.
Our thoughts are with the families, friends and colleagues of police officers who have died.
This was a devastating incident that will be felt across our communities and by all those involved in the emergency response.

Coast to coast fundraising cyclists raise £3000 for Hartlepool
The 'Steelies' cyclists set off from Silloth RNLI lifeboat station and completed the 156 mile route at Hartlepool in three days with overnight stops at Haltwhistle and Tynemouth along the way.
Dwayne Douglas who was one of the cyclists and organisers of the event said 'It was a lot of hard work with a lot of steep hills along the route but we kept going and it was great to finish the ride with a fantastic reception back at the Steelworks Club after a quick stop at Hartlepool RNLI lifeboat station where we met some of the volunteer crew and had a look at their boats.
We chose the local RNLI charity for the good job they do which is even more relevant with recent events and with amazing support from our sponsors and supporters we were also able to make donations to local representatives of the Motor Neurone Disease Society and Community Link.'

Hartlepool RNLI chairman Malcolm Cook said 'On behalf of all the officials and crewmembers at the Ferry Road lifeboat station I would like to thank Dwayne and everyone who helped make the event such a great success.
Yet again Hartlepool RNLI have had a very busy year with our volunteer crewmembers being called out to more than sixty incidents this year so far.
It's donations such as this that help train our volunteers and provide them with the best kit and boats to help us play our part in saving lives at sea 24-7, 365 days a year.'

Recent visitors to Hartlepool RNLI lifeboat station were the Shaw family from Skipton, North Yorkshire who were taking part in a fundraiser for the RNLI by visiting as many lifeboat stations as possible.
A very early start from their North Yorkshire home took them to Berwick RNLI lifeboat station and then visiting lifeboat stations along the Northumberland Coast before calling into Hartlepool RNLI lifeboat station where they had a guided tour of the lifeboat station by visits officer Jimmy Slaughter.
Rebecca Shaw said 'For 2 years my son Thomas had a teacher at Skipton Parish Primary School called Mrs Dryland.

Unfortunately for Thomas and all those close to her she passed away suddenly.
She was far too young to leave this world and ever since her parting Thomas has been sad.

As a mum, you want to make it right and although I can’t make it 100% ok. I had an idea.

Mrs Drylands memorial service was on July 10th for all the pupils at the school who wanted to say goodbye. While at the service I learned that Mrs Dryland was a keen supporter or the RNLI and wanted to visit all of the RNLI stations with her husband. She wasn’t able to visit them all so when the service ended I suggested to Thomas that we would do this and we would visit some of the stations in memory of Mrs Dryland and we would leave behind a pot of pre-planted Cornflowers which were her favourite at every location, wrapped with a yellow ribbon that meant something to her.'

Visits officer Jimmy Slaughter said 'I'm sure Rebecca and her family enjoyed the lifeboat station tour during their amazing fundraiser for the charity and thank you for the Cornflowers which will be well looked after'.
Day 2 of their journey eventually ended at Bridlington RNLI lifeboat station before heading home to Skipton and there next adventure will be to the West Coast and Wales.
