After three years of using Patreon to help fund my project, I felt I’d become too reliant on a platform that is growing increasingly powerful…and expensive!
So, during the lockdown of November 2020 — and in my quest to be independent from that kind of scenario — I worked out how to build my own membership platform, an environment which I feel is much more suited to The Lifeboat Station Project.
So, I’m very pleased to announce The LSP Society, a new place right here within the website where you can pledge whatever you’re comfortable with from £1 per month and join the special band of followers who’ve rallied to support my project:
MAKE A MONTHLY DONATION BY CARD If The LSP Society ‘s not for you, you can simply make a monthly payment here using your preferred payment card — no account or logging in required!
Starting from £/€/$5 per month, pledge whatever amount you’re comfortable with. Once you’ve clicked on a button, you can edit the amount if you’d like to.
All contributors’ names will be listed on a special thank you page in the final book.
Pledge £/€/$20 or more per month until the end of the project and you will also receive a signed copy of the book — please also note the new options available by joining The LSP Society .

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
