A VOLUNTEER from Fordingbridge who has dedicated years of her life to helping save lives at sea has been honoured with a prestigious award from the RNLI.
Five people from across Hampshire were presented with awards by the lifeboat charity, which paid tribute to those who give up their time to raise vital funds for the charity.
Fordingbridge and district branch secretary Hilary Adams was one of the five people who was honoured and will be presented with her award in a ceremony at the branch.
Sally Hilton, fundraising and communications manager for the RNLI south east, said: “These awards recognise a variety of achievements among our dedicated volunteer supporters.
“Whether its planning, actively fundraising, co-ordinating branch finances, or just for sheer dedication to the charity over time.
“As a charity we could not continue saving lives if it were not for volunteers who do their best to raise the vital funds we need.”
