LIFE-saving volunteers are being sought to join a team of emergency responders.

RNLI Lyme Regis is calling for new volunteers to join them in responding to emergency calls. The lifeboat crew has answered 28 calls for help since the start of 2021.

Manager Nick Marks is keen to recruit new volunteers who have a good standard of general fitness, and live or work within five minutes from the lifeboat station on the Cobb. Volunteers must be aged between 17 and 55, and all training is provided.

Nick said: "Volunteering with us gives people the opportunity to make a real difference in their local community, to save lives and become part of the larger RNLI family.

"We can't keep people safe without the support of our dedicated volunteers who truly make a difference everyday no matter which role they are fulfilling."
