Run by a team of volunteers the popular shop on the Radcliffe Quay, the shop will reopen on Saturday, April 12 offering gifts and souvenirs with all profits helping to save lives at sea.

She added: “The lifeboat station is always a popular destination for Amble visitors and holidaymakers, so we’re delighted to be open again for business for the 2025 season, serving customers and showing them around the lifeboats.
"We’re always grateful for people’s support and by buying gifts, customers are making an invaluable contribution to the RNLI and helping to saves lives at sea.”
