He has spent the past couple of years painting and selling stones to support a lifesaving cause.
And now Sheringham nine-year-old Elias Fenn has been honoured at Sheringham Lifeboat Day, after presenting the town’s RNLI station with £170 from his artistic efforts.
It comes on top of £130 Elias raised the previous year.
Chris Taylor, the station’s deputy senior helmsman, presented Elias with a book signed by the crew for his fundraising.
Mr Taylor said: “Elias’s dedication and commitment to helping the RNLI with his wonderful painted stones is an absolute inspiration.
“Elias is a huge fan of the RNLI and being a local lad we hope one day that he will join us as part of the crew, he would be a huge asset with his fantastic attitude.”
Hundreds of people flocked to the lifeboat day to see demonstrations including a mock rescue of a swimmer - played by Sheringham helmsman Steve Banks - and a joint demonstration involving Sheringham lifeboat and both of Cromer’s lifeboats.
