Tanygroes Welfare Committee has raised £500.00 for New Quay RNLI Lifeboat Station in a charity tractor run which took place earlier this year.
The committee, based at the Emlyn Café in Tanygroes, are very active fundraisers and in the past ten years have generated donations in excess of £64,000 for many local causes.
Rian Evans, Chairperson said, “We chose our local lifeboat station this year as we are a coastal community and rely on the volunteers of the RNLI to keep locals and tourists safe on the coast. It is a vital service and we value their hard work.”
The cheque was presented to Lifeboat Operations Manager Roger Couch who said, “We are extremely grateful to the committee for raising much needed funds for our lifeboat station. Every donation to New Quay lifeboat station goes towards providing equipment and maintaining our lifesaving service.”
