Burnham-On-Sea RNLI is making an urgent plea for more volunteers to come forward to help run its seafront store. Volunteers are desperately needed to maintain the shop, which is located on The Esplanade near the town’s jetty.

Burnham RNLI Supporters Coordinator Jendy Weekes said: ‘Interested applicants should either call into the shop or ring us on 01278 784213. The shop is open between 10am and 4pm on most days, and occasionally at other times when required.

‘The RNLI Supporters Group which runs the shop and mans the lifeboat station during open days are a friendly, happy group and would welcome any support given.’
