Hastings RNLI volunteers give donation to another charity
Members of Hastings RNLI lifeboat crew have presented £200 to FSN, a Hastings-based charity that provides services and projects for children and young people affected by poverty, disadvantage, neglect and abuse.
Boat and shore crew members, shop volunteers, guides and fundraisers paid to play crazy golf on Hastings’ famous seafront courses, with the proceeds all going to FSN, in June.
Hastings lifeboat management group chair Paul Freathy said : 'The annual crazy golf competition has become quite an event. It brings all the different areas of the lifeboat family in Hastings together, so is a great team-building exercise.
'And we always choose a local charity to benefit. We are all members of the local community, and of course a charity ourselves, so know how important the work of FSN is, and the value of public support.
“Hastings Adventure Golf generously allow us to pass all of the proceeds of our crazy golf evening on to charity, and we thank them for hosting us.'
Angie Jakeman of FSN added : 'This is really good of the RNLI volunteers, and we are very grateful for their support, and for choosing us to be the charity to benefit from their crazy golf event. As Paul said, we are all part of the same local community, and it is really nice that we can help each other like this.'
