Volunteers at the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) Lifeboat Station in the burgh and harbour town of Girvan in Carrick, South Ayrshire, smashed their fundraising target of £5,000 by completing a 200hr float challenge, backed by their super supportive local Premier and Morrisons Daily stores.
To celebrate 200 years of RNLI, pairs of volunteers at Girvan Lifeboat Station took turns to spend eight hours a day for eight days floating on a liferaft in Girvan Harbour. Generous Girvan Premier and Morrisons Daily on Dalrymple Street helped to boost morale and energy levels with multiple lunch and breakfast donations, featuring hearty sandwiches, wraps, fruit juice and plenty of Costa Coffee.
RNLI Girvan said: “Without our communities support, we wouldn’t be able to make a success of what we do, and once again our local business have stepped up big time to help us out, every day we have companies donating meals, snacks, goodies, for our crew in the raft.
“We really appreciate your support and for feeding our liferaft crews, show them your support, shop local, these small businesses are the beating heart of your community.”
The money raised will help the running of lifeboat stations and help to save lives.
