Tim who has been with the popular Northgate based club at the Headland for the past 25 years and has known some of the crew members for many years said "Last summer's sad events prompted me to give this donation to the Hartlepool RNLI.
As a local charity they do an absolutely amazing job and I'm very proud to support them."

Hartlepool RNLI crew member Rob Archer said "This very generous donation from Tim will certainly help save lives at sea.
It's donations such as this that help maintain the boathouse and the inshore and all weather boats and provide the volunteer crew with the best kit and training available."
