Enterprising weekend for Hartlepool RNLI fundraisers
Hartlepool RNLI Enterprise Branch members raised an impressive £709.00 for the charity that saves lives at sea whilst fundraising at the Jacksons Wharf pub during the 'Hartlepool Waterfront Festival' event that was held at Hartlepool Marina over the weekend.
Enterprise Branch chairman Beryl Sherry said ‘Once again the continued support from the team at Jacksons Wharf and generous donations from the public helped us raise this amazing amount to support the volunteer lifeboat crew members who are on call 24/7’.
The Enterprise Branch will be fundraising at the Marina way ASDA store from 10.00am onwards this Saturday 27th July.
