NatWest employees from branches in Bridgend to Aberystwyth are pulling on their wellies to show their support for the RNLI, the charity that saves lives at sea, at this year’s Welly Walk.
21 employees, which include: branch-based managers, the Director, business and commercial banking managers, will be taking part in the fun 3.5km sponsored walk on the 29th July that will be held along the sea front in Swansea Bay.
Emma Hughes, Regional Communications Manager explains why NatWest chose to take part in the RNLI Welly Walk this summer:
‘It was difficult to choose one local charity and we were looking for one charity that supports communities right across our patch. As we are all based along the coast and we decided that the RNLI was the best option.’
The walk, which will raise money towards the new Tamar class Lifeboat for The Mumbles RNLI Lifeboat Station, is open to all ages. Anyone can take part either as individuals or as part of a group – why not follow NatWests example and organize a team within your organization?
Bev Rosser-Smith, Area Fundraising Manager said:
‘I are delighted to have the team from NatWest on board and leading the way for the team entrants. They are also supporting the RNLI by undertaking other aspects of fundraising for the summer period for the Mumbles appeal. We would encourage any other local businesses as well as individuals, friends and family to come and take part in the Welly Walk. We have a super prize on offer for the best team who take part in both the Welly Walk and the Summer Sprint, so register today as places are limited for both and are filling fast.’
Entries for the Welly Walk will close on Friday 23rd July, and unfortunately there will be no entries on the day.
Summer Sprinters will join the Welly Walkers along the way. The Summer Sprint will also take place on Swansea Bay on the 29th July to raise money for the RNLI Lifeguards.

Let all step forward to show our support to the RNLI, the charity that saves lives at sea.
