RNLI Isle of Islay Fundraising Branch
Community Development
We would like to raise funding to cover the cost of providing new kit for the local volunteer lifeboat crew.
About this cause
The RNLI rely solely on voluntary contributions to operate and we at The Islay Fundraising Branch carry out various events and activities throughout the year to support the charity that save lives at sea. Our efforts range from running raffles to organising a Fun Day for all the family. We are a relatively small group and strive to come up with new ideas to boost our fundraising efforts. We are currently hoping to raise enough funding to cover costs of providing new kit for the local volunteer lifeboat crew which costs in the region of £1000.00 per crew member.
How this cause brings people in the community together
The local lifeboat and volunteer crew are a very important part of our community as we live on an island and it is reassuring for everyone in or on the sea that the RNLI are available to assist if required.
