I’m fundraising for the RNLI to help power brave lifesavers to the rescue
Every day, around the coasts of the UK and Ireland, RNLI volunteers are kitting up to answer desperate calls for help. But they can’t launch to the rescue without support. The RNLI relies on donations to fund the kit and training volunteers need to save lives at sea and return safely home. I’m fundraising to help them stay ready to rescue.

Oban to The Peak District
Thursday 7th MayStarting on 14th May 2026. Vernon, The last Traction engine ever made by Ransomes, and his friends Nelson & Queen Mary are visiting Oban.
On Monday 18th May, they will set off from The Cuilfail Hotel at Kilmelford to travel over 400 miles south towards home in the Peak District.
