Staithes and Runswick RNLI Lifeboat Station

Staithes and Runswick RNLI Lifeboat Station There have been RNLI lifeboats and volunteer crews on the coast at Staithes and Runswick since 1866, answering the call to save lives at sea.

The current station opened in 1978 with Atlantic Class inshore lifeboats.

A massive thank you to Harthill Village Voices for their fantastic concerts at the lifeboat station yesterday, Sunday 10th May.

Thanks to everyone who came along, listened and donated, the concerts raised an amazing £214 on the day, with a further £187 raised through their JustGiving page for Staithes & Runswick RNLI.

Thank you as well to the crew and members of the community who gave up their time to help on the day, your support is hugely appreciated.

We’d also like to thank everyone who visited the RNLI shop yesterday. Shop sales raised over £400 for the charity!

Your support helps us continue to keep our crew trained, equipped and ready to save lives at sea
