This year will be the sixth Christmas without my dad and the sixth birthday we’ve missed celebrating with him. It’s also the sixth year raising money for a charity close to his heart. We’ve raised £6,438 since his passing and it’s brought the family much comfort knowing we are able to help this charity.

Newquays lifeboat station was established in 1860 and has served the community for over 160 years.

The volunteer lifeboat crew provide a 24-hour search and rescue service 365 days a year, but none of this would be possible without the support of the public and their donations. It costs in the region of £70k a year to run and maintain the service in Newquay, all of which comes from the generous donations of the public.

Your donation will help to fund the selfless work of our volunteer lifeboat crew in Newquay, by doing so you will be helping to save lives around our coast and will be providing the best equipment possible to ensure the safety of our volunteers.
