Leg it for Lytham St Annes Lifeboats 2023

‘Leg it for Lifeboats’ is a popular event to raise vital funds in Lytham St Annes. The Covid pandemic meant it couldn’t be held on one day as it used to be and in 2020 the format changed to a month-long fundraiser. But for 2023 it’s back over a weekend in June.

See the crew pulling the inshore lifeboat on your way and enjoy a drink, cake and BBQ at the end!

In 2020 Coxswain Tom Stuart and volunteer colleagues from the lifeboat crew set off from the Lytham Inshore Lifeboat (ILB) House heading for St Annes All-weather Lifeboat (ALB) House. Their walk heralded with a send off from Lytham Town Crier Colin Ballard.
