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.

This years Dip was extremely successful with several hundred people attending. Approximately 75 'dippers' braved the sea helping to raise valuable funds for the Mundesley Lifeboat and Mundesley Scouts.

The proceeds of the bucket collection and refreshments totaled £770.

Both organisations would like to thank everybody who supported the event.
