When crew pagers sound family plans are changed, dog walks are cut short and dinners often go cold. The volunteers couldn’t save lives at sea without the support of their families.

The volunteer crew at Largs RNLI would like to say a massive thank you to Morrisons Largs
who kindly donated selection boxes and dog treats so Santa can say a little thank you to the crew kids, and their pets, for being so supportive and understanding during the year.
