Welcome to Mundesley Lifeboat online.
Mundesley Volunteer Lifeboat is entirely independent from the RNLI and supported completely by donations from the public. The lifeboat is a "Declared Facility", this means that H.M. Coastguard regard it as being on a par with the RNLI. The Service works closely with other Lifeboats in the area both inshore and offshore, and also with the RAF Search and Rescue Helicopter Squadron now located at Wattisham in Suffolk.

Boat Day 18th July 2010
Mundesley Lifeboat enjoyed beautiful weather and a successful fundraising day on the 18th July.
Boat Day raised in excess of £2,700 at it's annual event on the seafront green. During the day many stalls and attractions together with the Mundesley Fire and Rescue appliance, Norfolk Police and the local First Responder group helped to raise valuable funds for the service.
The day started at 10:00 with a well attended service led by Rev. Rod key which featured a nautical theme. Three local Coastguard teams from Mundesley, Cromer and Sheringham came together to put on an impressive cliff rescue demonstration. The Mundesley Lifeboat carried out a capsized kayak demonstration working closely with the locally based RNLI Lifeguards. The demonstration ended with a fly over by a helicopter from NHV based in Norwich. Later in the afternoon we held our first ever dog show which proved to be extremley popular and amusing for all involved.
Mundesley Lifeboat would like to thank all of the stall holders and members of the public who made the day such a success.

Time Expired Pyrotechnics
From 1 April 2010 the process for depositing time expired pyrotechnics (TEPs) with HM Coastguard will change.
'The facilities provided by HM Coastguard should only be used if all other disposal options have been exhausted. If you have out of date or damaged flares you should first contact the supplier from whom you originally brought them to see if they offer a take back scheme Some Local Authorities also operate disposal facilities. HM Coastguard is not responsible for the disposal of TEPs and accepts them at its own discretion and subject to storage availability.'
If you wish to handover TEPs, like old distress flares, to HM Coastguard you must contact your local Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) to make an appointment to arrange handover.
