Children are being given the a chance to discover what life is like for lifeboat volunteers.

The RNLI is holding a free event, called Crew for the Day, at Bridlington Lifeboat Station at the weekend.

It will offer young people and their families a chance to meet volunteers, complete challenges and find out how a lifeboat station works.

The event, aimed at children from the age of seven, is on Saturday from 10:00 to 14:00 BST.

Volunteer Anna Needham said the RNLI wanted to repeat the success of an inaugural event last year.

“Watching young people get hands-on with lifeboat skills while having fun was a real highlight,” she said.

“It is a brilliant way for the community to connect with our work, learn something new and enjoy a memorable day at the station.

“We cannot wait to see even more faces this year.”
