Mothers who are also RNLI volunteers are being celebrated across the South Coast this week.
On the Isle of Wight, Penny Jeffcoate has been volunteering with Cowes RNLI for over six years as inshore-lifeboat crew.
Penny volunteers with her partner Jack, who is an inshore-lifeboat helm.
Penny's son Ben is inspired every time his mum goes out on the lifeboat, and hopes to follow in his mum’s footsteps, and join the crew when old enough!
Penny said:
‘The crew at Cowes are a huge help to me.
"They have been extremely supportive and have occasionally picked up my son from nursery when we are out on a shout!"
