We have craft classes, which meets every Thursday morning when members help each other to perfect their skills, a choir group and drama group.

Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI)
The Wrea Green branch of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was formed in 1962 and has been waving the flag in the village ever since!  We have an ever enthusiastic committee who work their socks off approximately four times a year raising money in a variety of different ways.  To date we  have one gold award, two silver awards and eight bronze awards to our credit and it helps us all to know that Head Office appreciate our efforts!  We are always looking for new recruits for our committee, who are a friendly crowd, and would welcome the new ideas and energies newcomers could bring.  We average six committee meetings per year.
