Lifeboat is dedicated to passionate supporter
The Journal
|April 18, 2025
BERWICK'S RNLI team have dedicated their new lifeboat after a passionate supporter of the charity.
The charity's lifeboat was named after Glenis Joan Felstead, and one of her wishes was that her husband Trevor Felstead ensure the RNLI received a contribution in recognition of its life-saving work. This generosity has funded the charity's new lifeboat.
Glenis's love of the RNLI developed when she saw media reports about the types of rescues that the charity's volunteers were called to assist with. This led to her being a collector for the RNLI and attending events such as markets, fairs, exhibitions and other activities.
She also had a love of going on cruises. This strengthened her determination to support the RNLI when she saw people being rescued from the sea whilst on a cruise.
