This week, our blog is a celebration of the RNLI’s MayDay campaign. Every year, it celebrates the volunteers who dedicate their time to help save lives at sea during the month of May 💛🛟

As the strategic charity partner of our client, Helly Hansen, we’re proud to support and activate the amazing work of all volunteers and staff at the RNLI.

This year, we’ve been working closely with some of the heroes of the seas all over the UK. From remote towns in Scotland, to the coastline of Eastbourne in East Sussex and across to the capital city of London, there is a diverse and vibrant array of wonderful volunteers who save lives every single day and are proud to wear their “Yellows” – and we’ve been getting to know them in a series of interviews with the crew! 🌊

Check out the blog to find out more, here: https://www.adpr.co.uk/blog/maritime-pr/helly-hansen-and-the-rnli-proud-to-wear-my-yellows/
