Southport Lifeboat have spent a busy first year inside their new base.
The life-saving volunteers moved into their purpose-built £1.4 million facility on Marine Drive on New Year’s Day 2022, and have responded to 43 incidents in the 12 months since.
Hundreds of people owe their lives to the vital work carried out on a daily basis by the brave men and women of the charity.
A Southport Lifeboat spokesperson said “We wish to thank you all for your continued support.
“Last year saw us operate from our new Lifeboat Station, having moved in on New Year’s Day.
“We’ve had another busy year, with our volunteers having responded to 43 incidents, including one most recently on Christmas Day. We work closely with the Maritime Coastguard Agency as a Declared Facility, along with many other Search and Rescue Teams.
“A number of our crew members were awarded with Platinum Jubilee medals in June. The medals were awarded to volunteers with more than five years service.

“Our charity shop and LifeboatLotto continue to help generate a valuable income, as have all your kind donations. Without you, we would not be able to save lives around our coast.
“As we bid farewell to 2022, we wish you all a Happy New Year and hope you have a fantastic 2023.”
It costs £60,000 to keep Southport Lifeboat functioning all year round. That is no mean task during ordinary times, let alone the extraordinary times we currently find ourselves in.
Southport Lifeboat is funded entirely through public donations, and is independent of the RNLI, which abandoned Southport many years ago.
There are other ways you can help the charity continue to save lives, including joining Lifeboat Lotto or online donations.
