Our Chosen Charities 2019/20

We have always liked to support Charity events and have always given our time and donated to worthwhile causes especially locally. While we continue to do this we have chosen to concentrate on two very important organisations for 2022. The RNLI has always been an important charity for us. They keep us and our coastlines safe and provide an invaluable service.

Our 2nd charity has always been chosen by our daughters, this year they would like to focus on a mental health charity, the COVID crisis has left many in a vulnerable mental health position and there are so many excellent organisations that need support. Because of this it is taking our daughters a little longer to decide which charity to choose. 

Volunteer lifeboat crews provide a 24-hour rescue service in the UK and Ireland, and seasonal lifeguards look after people on busy beaches. Flood Rescue Team helps those affected by flooding.

RNLI crews and lifeguards have saved over 142,200 lives since 1824 but they are more than a rescue service. They influence, supervise and educate people too. They have Community Safety teams that explain the risks and share safety knowledge with anyone going out to sea or to the coast. And international teams work with like-minded organisations to help tackle drowning in communities at risk all around the world.
