SATURDAY

RNLI Mayday Stall

What is Mayday?

Mayday is a call for help. Usually, RNLI lifesavers answer mayday calls and rescue others. 

But this May, they're asking for YOUR help. Will you answer their call? 

As the beaches fill up this summer, our lifesavers will be at their busiest. With more people drawn to the water, more people will get into danger. It could be you or someone you love. Crews need to be ready and that takes lifeboats, training, kit, lifeboat stations and fuel. 

Can you help get our lifesavers ready for rescue this summer by visiting our stall in Hitchin Town Centre to buy some of the fabulous RNLI branded merchandise we will be selling. 

Maybe you would like to learn how you could join our local fundraising group or even how to complete the Mayday Mile to raise funds for volunteers..
