Students from Ysgol John Bright raise funds for Llandudno RNLI
Following a very successful fund-raising initiative last summer, the young people raised an impressive £800 during their “dress down” day.
Two senior students Head girl Kayleigh Bonner and George Parker visited the Lifeboat Station this week to present their cheque to Deputy Launch Authority Dan Jones MBE, Sue Perkins chairperson Llandudno supporters’ group and current crew member Luke Heritage.
Kayleigh explained “we wanted to raise awareness of the different charities locally, going to school near the seaside we also wanted to highlight the possible dangers of the sea and making sure we all stay safe, it’s important that charities like the RNLI are here to help”.
