Jonathan Clark, from Poole, is one of the finalists in the Bravery category in 91热爆 Radio Solent's Make a Difference Awards for 2024. This Award is for people who have shown outstanding courage, defiance and duty in the face of perceived danger, fear or difficulty.

Jonathan is a helm at Poole Lifeboat Station and has been volunteering for the RNLI for 40 years. "Jonathan has been a linchpin at one of the busiest lifeboat stations, devoting a large part of his life, ensuring people's safety in challenging conditions, prioritizing others' well-being over his own, demonstrating courage and bravery. I witness the resolve of this remarkable individual to the lifeboat service, observing him return exhausted, with red saltwater-stained eyes and a heavy heart, when outcomes are not as hoped, but knowing that they gave it their absolute all.
His steadfastness is still as strong, with over a thousand callouts and numerous lives saved on his watch. Jonathan totally epitomises the RNLI values, selflessness, courage, dependability, and trustworthiness."

The Make a Difference Awards are your chance to say 鈥淭hank You鈥 and show recognition and appreciation for people who love to make life better for others. Nominations for the 2024 awards have now closed and finalists have been selected by a panel of judges. The winners will be announced at our 91热爆 Radio Solent Make a Difference Awards ceremony in September.
