Family Easter Bingo
Tuesday 4 April 2023, 6pm
Wells RNLI Guild invites you to our Easter Family Bingo at Binham Village Hall... fun for all the family with great prizes. Light refreshments available.New Shannon lifeboat
and boathouse build
Latest update 28/11/2022We've moved in... Wells RNLI is now operating from the new building. See the boathouse build pages for the latest information and the story of how the new station was built.
The new Shannon lifeboat was funded in part with a station appeal for £250,000 in 2014-15 and also by the Civil Service charity The Lifeboat Fund with its 150th Anniversary Appeal. We are hugely grateful to everyone who has donated, fund-raised, helped and supported us both locally and across the UK and further afield.
COVID-19
We're keen to protect our crew to ensure the lifeboats can be manned when needed. Please don't visit the station or shop if you or someone you have recently been in close contact with has Covid symptoms or a postive test.
