Sunday Training – plus SHOUT!
Well that was a busy morning, and one which really proved the importance of our rescue crew training to be ready for anything …
TASKED TO ASSIST
Our volunteers were asked to assist RNLI Hastings in the search for a missing person. The person was believed to be missing between our local Cliff End area and Hastings.
With the morning’s training having just ended when the call came through to us, our teams were rescue ready and able to assist immediately. After an extensive search no-one was found. Our crews were then stood down by Solent Coastguard and returned back to base for the busy task of leaving the boats and the boat house rescue ready for the next call to assist.

One of the Best Beaches in Sussex …
It’s well recognised locally that since lockdown, beaches all along the local coastline have become busier as ‘staycations’ have gained in popularity.
If you’d like to volunteer – and train – with us, please message us or phone our boathouse to find out more!

Dry January Fundraiser
A huge congratulations to members of our crew Martin Geldart and Nick Wise, plus long-time PLIRB supporter Dawn Turner.
Between them, this amazing trio took part in a Dry January fundraiser and raised an incredible £1200 for our charity.
This money will go towards much needed new dry suits for the crew, plus a little left over for some of the other essential equipment needed to keep us #rescueready!
This isn’t the first personal challenge amongst our supporters and crew which have raised vital funds for us. Who can forget the crazy beard growing of crew members in lockdown, or the epic cycle ride of Sean O’Sullivan when our community fundraising was closed during the pandemic.
If you have the time and the idea for a personal challenge which could support us – from a Dry January fundraiser, right through to a Christmas challenge in December – we’d love to hear from you! Please contact us.

Beach Safety Update
Please take a moment to read our essential beach safety reminder for local beach users. Our local Cliff End beach at Pett Level is notorious for rock falls and, after the recent storms, the current risk of rock falls is much greater.
- Please stay away from the cliff edge at the top.
- Do not walk or sit under the cliff line.
- Do not try to climb the cliffs.
- If you’re dog walking and recall is an ‘in-progress’ part of training, please keep your dog on a lead on the cliff-side of the beach so it can’t run into the under-cliff area.
And of course, please continue to be aware of how fast the incoming tide floods the under-cliff area. The tide can cut you off right under high-risk rock fall areas, so please:
- Check the tide times before taking a walk (there’s widget on our home page to help with this).
- Be aware that you can get cut off even up to 2 hours before the high tide is due!
- Charge your phone before beach walks and visits and bring it with you, for emergency purposes.
Remember, if you spot a problem, please call emergency services on 999 and ask for the coastguard.
