Throughout the day, people donated spare change and plenty of conversations were also had with young people, RNLI crew members from across the country, along with veterans of the Merchant Navy and Royal Navy.
The Royal National Lifeboat Institute are the charity which saves lives at sea and in 2022, the RNLI’s lifeboats were launched 9,312 times, their crews saved 389 lives and RNLI lifeguards saved 117 people.
In the North West of England, there is Hoylake Lifeboat Station on the Wirral and it's one of the oldest lifeboat stations in the UK. It covers Liverpool Bay and the approaches to the River Mersey and River Dee.
Another is Blackpool Lifeboat Station which is situated on the promenade and is close to the world famous Blackpool Tower. It also includes a visitor's centre and gift shop, which is ideal for souvenir's over the Summer months.
As a charity, the RNLI relies on donations from the public and the £2150.00 raised in Manchester, will go a long way to helping them save lives at sea. You can get more information at rnli.org or when you drop in to one of their visitors centre's.
