Penarth Lifeboat Station - Creative Commons RNLI PENARTH is looking for a new volunteer shop manager to join a team of committed volunteers as the station’s shop on Penarth Esplanade gets ready to open its doors for the first time in over a year. The volunteer shop manager will play a key role in saving lives at sea by helping to generate vital funds for the station, as well as promoting the work of the RNLI to customers and raising awareness of key safety messages. RNLI shops started life as simple cake stalls run by volunteers to raise money for their local lifeboat station.
