They are on call 24 hours a day seven days a week as they play their part in saving lives at sea which is an amazing commitment’.
Matt Adams, Deputy Second Coxswain at the Ferry Road lifeboat station said ‘We have had busy start to the year so the continued support from the members of the Male Voice Choir is fantastic and their donation will certainly help with training and running costs at the station’.
