Manage episode 397635019 series 3480777
One year into her appointment as Chair of the RNLI, Janet Legrand shares her unique insight into the charity
Her earliest memories of the RNLI are from childhood - Blue Peter, and visits to the RNLI shop in Eastbourne to buy souvenirs with her pocket money. Now, Janet - a lawyer by profession - is Chair of the RNLI, which means she’s head of the board legally responsible for the charity’s affairs.
Janet talks about the highlights of her first year at the RNLI, from stepping on stage at her first AGM, to attending the naming ceremony of the new lifeboat at Margate and being struck by a tremendous sense of community.
200 Voices is produced by Adventurous Audio for the RNLI
Interview by RNLI’s Rory Stamp
