On Monday 24th February we welcomed Kevin Perrett from Solent Rescue, our chosen charity for 2024. Kevin was presented with a cheque for £450, money raised by the group through our various fund raising activities. We had also donated to the charity one of the quilts made as part of a group project, this was raffled by them and raised another £340. Kevin thanked the group for all their work and generosity. Solent Rescue is an independent lifeboat based at Lepe Country Park. Founded originally, in 1971, as a beach rescue service it has grown into a lifeboat service, adhering to the Maritime and Coastguard agency’s Rescue Boat Code like the RNLI. The charity is run entirely by volunteers and runs on donations and fund raising to keep up its work. |
