Double boost for Hartlepool RNLI fundraiser
During a recent Hartlepool RNLI fundraising team meeting fundraiser Ann Wray was presented with a Certificate of Service and a new 30 year service gold badge from RNLI Marketing and Visitor Experience Lead Michael Charlton.
Ann said 'I was very surprised to receive a new badge and the framed certificate from Michael and for once I was lost for words but what we do is a team effort so in a way this is for the other fundraisers at Hartlepool as well.'
The Hartlepool RNLI fundraising team will be at Middleton Grange Shopping Centre on the 16th November from 9.00am until 4.00pm
