Our Journey
The service was was founded in 1970 to support the local fishing community and became the Pett Level Rescue Boat Association (subsequently the Pett Level Independent Rescue Boat Association) – receiving charity status in the 1980’s. In our 50-year history PLIRB has become a valued and respected community asset and service.
PLIRB has grown and strengthened and is committed to training to be the best professional lifesaving service we can be.
Over the years we have developed our boathouse footprint from one building to a custom-built crew room, boathouse and additional garage.
