Fish ‘n’ Chip Canapés

The evening is part of the RNLI's national 'Fish Supper' event.

The charity's crews are ready to drop everything – even their supper – at a moment’s notice to go to the rescue of people in trouble on the water.

People are also being encouraged to host their own fish suppers during the weekend of
13 to 15 October.

The money raised from Fish Supper events will support all aspects of the RNLI's lifesaving work and could help to buy kit for volunteer crew members or fuel for a lifeboat.
