RNLI volunteers receive special awards for dedicated service

Thursday, 27 June 2024 18:19

Three volunteers have been given awards from the Lieutenant Governor for their dedication to the service.

Lesley Carter and Environment Minister Steve Luce both received 30-year-long service awards.

Vice Admiral Jerry Kyd also gave the King's Flag to Nigel Sweeny, the lifeboat operations manager, along with a framed certificate of the St Catherine's Lifeboat Station, for 50 years of service.

Jersey's RNLI celebrated its 200th anniversary with a garden party at Government House.

The Lieutenant Governor saw the work of the St Helier crew first-hand on Sunday when a vessel needed help at sea during the Governor's Cup Inter-Island Races.

The all-weather responded to calls for assistance and His Excellency had a 'warm chat' with the people on the seven-metre-long motor boat.
