WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
Like a needle and thread around the coast of the UK and Republic of Ireland, The Lifeboat Station Project is an unprecedented mission to capture the spirit behind a vital piece of our unique island life — the RNLI community.
The photographs and sound recordings will ultimately be showcased in a stunning exhibition and book, both of which are set to be huge fundraisers for the RNLI.
The book and show can only be made once I’ve completed the work — in the meantime, I need help from people like you .
WHO’S BACKING THE PROJECT AT THE MOMENT?
For the first two years of its life, I entirely self-funded the Project with money raised through the The LSP Shop — in essence, my own form of crowdfunding.
Since Autumn 2016, I’ve been fortunate enough to receive a small contribution from the RNLI in return for the charity using the images to promote their work.
This contribution goes some way to smoothing out the (sometimes terrifying) financial peaks and troughs. So, I still rely on the support of the amazing people who love following the journey and appreciate what it takes to keep it on the road.
On 9th November 2017, I launched a brand new way for extra-keen fans and followers the chance to be extra-rewarded:

Attended a passionate presentation delivered by Jack about his work to date and the future. Great to see the history of the RNLI being captured in such a special way. Looking forward to his visit to Poole LB station.
So glad you could make it to the talk, Glen, and an honour to make your portrait on Saturday too. Jack
Jack, when you make it to the RNLI station in Redcar perhaps you might look into the Zetland Museum, only a hundred yards away. The Museum houses the Zetland Lifeboat built more than 200 years ago. No longer a part of the RNLI but a super part of the history of lifesaving at sea.
Indeed, I’ll look forward to that. Best wishes, Jack
Excellent. Shame that you neglected mention Ireland in your opening paragraph! The “needle and thread” encompasses both Islands.
Quite right too — thank you for highlighting an error that had slipped through the net. I’ve now copied the text from the About page to bring it all into line. Thank you for your interest and eagle eyes! Best wishes, Jack
