Red Bay Lifeboat

Earlier this year the Rotary Club of Ballycastle went over to Red Bay Lifeboat station to find out more about the work they do there.  We were so impressed by what we found that we donated some money to them this summer. 

 

On Tuesday Danny and John came along to our meeting and gave us another talk on the work they and the RNLI do. We were delighted to hear that our money helped provide them with the very modern new life jackets they received this week.

The purpose of the RNLI is to save lives at sea. The RNLI is independent of the government and as such relies massively on donations. Since the RNLI was founded in 1824, its lifeboats, and since 2001, its lifeguards, have saved more than 139,000 lives. This is a phenomenal achievement and the effort all the volunteersput in is something very special indeed.
