Volunteers at RNLI Newbiggin and members of the public took part in a walk along the town’s beach to help the environment and raise funds for the lifesaving charity.

The event, part of the RNLI’s Mayday Mile campaign, raised over £300 as 30 walkers took part.

In addition to the walk, a beach clean took place to collect litter along the coast.

The event also included local knowledge training for the lifeboat station’s volunteers and ended with refreshments at the boathouse.
