Hoylake RNLI has been recognised by the Mayor of Wirral with a prestigious Wirral Award, celebrating the station’s long‑standing commitment to saving lives at sea.
The Wirral Award is a special civic honour that recognises individuals and organisations across the borough for recent outstanding achievements or for distinguished and sustained service to the Wirral community.
The presentation took place on Wednesday 10 March at Wallasey Town Hall, where Hoylake RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager Richard Martindale, alongside crew members Ian and Tracy Davies and Abbie Sanders, attended a ceremony hosted by the Mayor of Wirral, Councillor Brian Kenny.
RNLI volunteers were proud to accept the award on behalf of Hoylake Lifeboat Station, which has been serving the local community and saving lives along the Wirral coast since 1803.
The evening was a celebration of local lifesaving commitment, with a Wirral Award also presented to members of the Wirral Coastguard Rescue Team, recognising their tireless efforts to keep people safe on the coast.
Richard Martindale, Hoylake RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager, said: "It was a privilege to receive this recognition from the Mayor of Wirral on behalf of Hoylake RNLI.
"I would like to thank Wirral Council for inviting our volunteers to such a wonderful evening. We were proud to be recognised alongside our friends and colleagues at Wirral Coastguard and other awardees who have served the Wirral with distinction."
