I volunteered for St Bees RNLI station for 6yrs in admin and treasury roles. The management team have their favourites and push out anyone who's face doesn't fit, I managed to fight it for a good few years, but then they eroded my role away, would not communicate with me other than to say my place was at home looking after my husband and kids. I lodged an official complaint with HQ which has been ignored for weeks. There have been a good few boat crew who have been treated badly at this station too. I wouldn't recommend volunteering for them at all, the whole organisation needs an overhaul
