Story

Too many people are still drowning. More than ever we need the RNLI’s help. As a charity, the RNLI depends on our donations so it can go on saving lives and keeping us and our loved ones safe.

RNLI lifesavers are our lifeline. They’re the lifeboat crews who provide 24-hour search and rescue right around the UK and Ireland. The lifeguards keeping watch on 240 of the busiest beaches in the UK and Channel Islands. And the RNLI safety teams and educators working tirelessly to stop people getting into trouble in the first place.

Bay City Rollers' fans will be coming together from around the globe in October 2024 to celebrate 50 years since the release of the band's first studio album - Rollin', and we decided to get out of our comfort zone and do something to make a difference to those in need. Our Sea Dip will take place at Portobello Beach on Friday 4 October 2024.

Our swimmers/dippers have been asked to raise £50 each minimum (more would be nice!) and include; Gail Shackley, Susan Rostron, Laura Brady, Karen Jayne Newland, Maureen Mavar, Heather Vaughan, Camille Russell, Mary McNally Mary, Margaret Whitehead, Kym Winchester, Elaine Wayman, Pamela Sue Branning, Mandy King, Sharon May Flynn, Nikki McDevitt, Simone Fletcher, Siobhán Fletcher Chivers, Vicki Burton, Sheri Oberle, Audrey Robertson, Colleen Carpenter, Lisa A. Turley, and The Legendaries’ David Major and, Nick Gornall!

If you are sponsoring an individual team member with your kind donation, please add their name to any comments so they are credited with that amount!

Thank you very much.
