Local fitness centre supports Cullercoats Lifeboat
Aaron Phillips, who owns Ocean Fit in Whitley Bay, recently hosted a beach camp in aid of Cullercoats RNLI.
Aaron decided to host the event on the second anniversary of his business and raised a fantastic £175 for Cullercoats Lifeboat station. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is completely reliant on donations and we are so grateful to have the support of Aaron and Ocean Fit. Thank you very much from all at Cullercoats.
All of the crew members at Cullercoats are volunteers and are ready to respond to a pager and save lives 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every donation helps us to continue saving lives at sea. We are very lucky to have such a supportive community.
