Northumberland Music Festival raises awareness of the RNLI
On Saturday 24 June Northumberland Live took place in Blyth Northumberland and the RNLI was the nominated charity for the event.
It gave the opportunity for the charity to raise awareness of their work and to spread the 'Respect the Water' campaign message to thousands of music fans that attended on the day.
Stormy Stan (the RNLI's mascot) even took to the stage and hundreds of pounds was raised to enable the charity to continue to 'Save Lives at Sea'.
Robin Palmer, spokesperson for Blyth RNLI said: 'We'd like to thank the organiser Mel Jackson of Northumberland Live for allowing us to be able to raise awareness of the work of the RNLI. We'd also like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' to all public for their kind donations on the day.'
