The conditions are looking more settled this weekend, but if you do head out on the water โคต

- please check the wind and tides first
- always carry a means to call for help
- wear a lifejacket or buoyancy aid
- let someone know where you are going and when you will be back

The idea for Betty's Pots started in 2014, by RNLI volunteer Betty Frith, who served as the Honorary Treasurer of the RNLI Hertford branch for over 20 years! She collected up little jam jars (like the ones you get at hotel breakfasts) cleaned them out, relabelled them, and encouraged people to fill them with 5p coins to support the RNLI.

This simple idea spread across the country, and raised thousands of pounds to help save lives at sea.

Betty's 5p pots are available at the RNLI shop here in Swanage, located in the Square (Opposite Curiosity!), so pop by and collect a pot. Once it's full, drop it back, and help us continue Betty's legacy.

Every penny donated goes straight to the RNLI, and helps with our efforts to save lives at sea.

Everyone at Swanage RNLI Lifeboat Station would like to thank the wonderful team at Swanage Fish & Food Festival for their very generous donation of ยฃ1750! Our volunteers Paul, Steve, and Lynn attend the Celebration Afternoon to receive the cheque and celebrate an incredible weekend, run by an incredible team.

We would also like to thank everyone who stopped by our lifeboat stall over the course of the weekend, and helped us raise additional funds to help our volunteers continue to save lives at sea.
