Dart RNLI welcomes fundraising donation
Dart RNLI was thrilled to receive a generous donation from River Dart Rotary raised at their magnificent Summer Fete.
Peter Adolphus, the River Dart Rotary President, and colleague Jane Willis handed over a cheque for £1,202.96 to Dart Fundraising Chair John Butler outside the new lifeboat station.
The May event was a roaring success and Peter Adolphus was delighted to help raise funds for the volunteers at Dart RNLI.
‘We like helping local organisations and it’s great to form new relationships around the town,’ said Peter.
‘We had around 24 stalls on the day and it was a lovely atmosphere and a very good day.
‘The RNLI has a great tradition in Dartmouth. They are a friendly team and we’re very happy to help such an important cause.’
Fundraising chair John Butler added: ‘It was a remarkable effort from River Dary Rotary and very generous to donate such an amount.
‘Every donation helps the charity and our aim of helping save lives at sea.
‘All the fundraisers and the crew would like to pass on their thanks to Peter, Jane and their team.’
