Young fundraisers visit Berwick-upon-Tweed RNLI
Berwick RNLI had a visit from some really young fund raisers recently.
The 9th Berwick Rainbows came to Berwick lifeboat station after doing a sponsored ‘Find the Items’, to make a generous donation to the charity that saves lives at sea.
The girls aged between five and six years old were taken on a tour of the lifeboat station and given a Beach Safety Talk, in readiness for the school summer holidays.
Coxswain Ali Laing said: ‘It was great to see such enthusiastic children. They wanted to know all about the role of the lifeboat crew and what their money would be used for. We would like to thank all of the children for their donation and wish them a safe happy summer holiday.’
