Crew members come from many walks of life. They volunteer to work as part of the lifeboat crew. This means they work without getting paid. Some crew members already have a job for example they may be teachers, bakers, butchers, mechanics, plumbers as well as police officers, bar staff or company directors. Going out on a shout means they must stop whatever they are doing and get to the lifeboat as fast as they can - day or night!
