ARRANGE A VISIT TO HELENSBURGH LIFEBOAT STATION
We can arrange visits for individuals and groups of all ages, e.g. schools, young people's groups, 'oldies', and endeavour to tailor the experience to suit the group. Typically visits last for about one hour or more depending on the size of the party and can include a tour of the building and its facilities, a chance to climb on board the Lifeboat and be shown the equipment carried, an explanation of the crew’s individual Personal Protective Equipment (lifejackets, helmets, drysuits etc), and an informative video from the RNLI.
The visits are normally conducted by active members of the crew, and all questions are positively encouraged. The whole experience can be altered to suit the group and run at a mutually agreeable time. Visit the 'Education' page for activities and resources which groups may find useful before (or after) their visit.
We look forward to welcoming you to Helensburgh Lifeboat Station.

Independence Options, Dumbarton, visit Helensburgh Lifeboat Station.
"The group were most impressed at how dedicated all the RNLI volunteers were and that they do it for free, holding down normal 'day' jobs as well. Highlights of the visit were watching Steve get into his dry suit!! and getting to sit in the lifeboat. Many thanks to Colin and Steve for making us most welcome and for giving up their valuable time to show us round the station."
