Bangor RNLI's new fundraising volunteers on call for Mayday
As part of the charity's Mayday campaign, Bangor RNLI has a pop-up shop situated in Ground Espresso Bar, one of the RNLI charity partners.
The pop-up shop is well stocked with lots of RNLI souvenirs and gifts upstairs in the Ground Espresso Bar in Next. For the month of May, coffee will be served in a special RNLI cup that has a QR code that takes customers straight to the RNLI fundraising page while £1 from every purchase of their Celebration Cake will be donated to RNLI.
The launch was an exciting morning for Bangor RNLI's volunteering team as the stall was hosted by new members of the branch, Lynda Broderick, Karen Thurly and Fiona Hicks who were accompanied by crew members Kyle Marshall and Tarek Qutteineh.
