Episode 1 - Anna Heslop

In our debut episode, we meet Anna Heslop – a volunteer crew member from Cullercoats Lifeboat Station. Anna describes her experience of being the only woman on her lifeboat crew, the support the volunteers give each other after experiencing a difficult rescue, and the unexpected confidence boost she’s gained in all aspects of her life since joining the RNLI. Plus, she tells the story of the day she saved a life, as the crew launched to rescue a group of kayakers at sea on a stormy January afternoon.
