After the raffle draw, the team from The Wee Gift Shop met with our RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager Jim Redmond to hand over a cheque for £250.

After collecting the donation, The Wee Gift Shop team were invited along to our training night where they met some of the volunteer crew before the all-weather and inshore lifeboats headed out to sea.

Following the visit, Jim said, ‘Thank really goes to you the staff from The Wee Gift Shop for the donation to Troon RNLI lifeboat station, their customers for entering the raffle and of course well done to the winner of the Jellycat Amuseables Lifering
