Loch Ness RNLI team delighted with locally raised funds

This generous donation was collected or raised by the staff, crew and customers of Loch Ness by Jacobite throughout the course of the year. The Loch Ness Lifeboat received a share of the proceeds of the Jacobite bonfire night and that combined with the money collected in their RNLI collection boxes, all added up to £2064.99.
Marketing and Events Manager with Loch Ness by Jacobite Kelly MacKenzie and Accounts Assistant Lauren MacKenzie were surprised and delighted by the total which was more than £382 up on last year. Lifeboat Operations Manager Joanna Stebbings presented a certificate in recognition of their valued support.
