A special scroll marking the 200th anniversary of the RNLI will make a second visit to the Vale this weekend.
The scroll is currently on a journey throughout the British Isles, which began at a Thanksgiving service at Westminster Abbey in March and will finish next month in Douglas on the Isle of Man.
It will visit Penarth lifeboat station on Friday before arriving at the RNLI's visitor centre at Barry Island on Saturday.
Already over 700 representatives of the lifeboat charity have added their signatures to the scroll, which carries the words of the RNLI's one crew pledge, printed in seven languages.
Andy Gavan, coxswain for the RNLI at Barry Dock, said: "The scroll Relay is a powerful symbol of how every RNLI station is interconnected, not just through our shared mission to save lives, but through the support we receive from the people around us in our communities."
"It’s a reminder that we’re all in this together—volunteers, supporters, and the wider community. This is what makes our work possible, and it’s what keeps us going."
A member of the volunteer crew at Penarth will add their signature on Friday - before the anniversary is marked with a special thanksgiving service at St Augustine's Church on Sunday.
Local lifesavers from the Barry Dock station will take their turn to add their names on Saturday - with the public being able to meet the volunteer crew and learn more about the RNLI's lifesaving legacy in the Vale.
After the relay reaches its climax next month, the scroll will be put on display at the RNLI's training college for crews and lifeguards in Poole.
Anjie Rook, associate director of the RNLI, who is overseeing the 200th anniversary celebrations, said: "The Connecting our Communities relay is one of the most significant events of the RNLI’s 200th anniversary year as it’s all about our people."
"For 200 years, it is people who have made the RNLI what it is – from our brave lifesavers who risk their lives to save others, to the committed fundraisers and generous donors who fund our lifesaving work."
