About Wendy Richards Wood

Speaks on behalf of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and offers two presentations. The first: 'Women of the RNLI' describes the huge contribution of women to saving lives both historically and up to the present day; the second is specific to the history of the RNLI in Teignmouth in Devon.

Wendy is a Lifeboat Station Visits volunteer, volunteer Community Presenter and Chair of the RNLI Fundraising Team at RNLI Teignmouth, Devon.

Living on the coast, and seeing the difficulties people can get into in or on the water Wendy welcomes the opportunity to contribute to Saving Lives at Sea.

Her employment background is human resource management and employment law and so her interest in diverse working environments led to her finding out more about women in the RNLI and her research has contributed to her talk on 'Women of the RNLI'. Her interest in the history of the Teignmouth Lifeboat Station which dates back to the 1800s helped her to create the presentation 'The Lives and Times of the RNLI in Teignmouth'.
