'Well done, Eleanor!': Staithes and Runswick RNLI celebrates crew member's achievement

Staithes and Runswick RNLI are celebrating the hard-work and success of one of their crew members after she passed her Tier 2 assessment.

Eleanor Jackson, who is a crew member alongside her father Lee Jackson, has successfully passed her Tier 2 assessment with the RNLI. Achieving Tier 2 status means demonstrating the knowledge and practical skills needed to take on a greater range of duties on the lifeboat. This includes areas such as helming, towing, man overboard procedures, emergency drills and maritime theory. A Staithes and Runswick RNLI spokesperson said: “Our crew put a great deal of time and effort into training to ensure they’re ready to respond when the pager goes off.
