Belief is a local fundraising group who raise money for local people and causes. They now have 78 members and actively take part in fundraising activities from holding pub quizzes to doing triathlons.

Yvette Green, Belief Member said 'This year was our 4th year of doing the dip. In our 1st year there was 6 of us, and each year the team grows with 20 of us taking part . We all embraced the team spirit dressed as pirates to raise funds for our local Lifeboat Station. We managed to raise £1322.00. We are looking forward to next year and have already decided on our outfits!'

Rhyl Lifeboat Coxswain, Martin Jones said 'Belief have been a big support not just to the station but the whole community. We'd like to thank all the members for their fantastic fundraising efforts, and look forward to seeing what their fancy dress theme is at next years dip!'
