Margaret served 15 years as Honorary Secretary at the Finchley and Friern Barnet RNLI Branch before moving to Exmouth and continuing her voluntary work for the lifesaving charity. She said “My family were very regular visitors to the Isles of Scilly and over the years became friendly with some of the RNLI volunteers on the isles. My young son was fascinated by the lifeboat there and that sparked my interest and long-term commitment to this wonderful organisation.”
