BURNHAM-ON-SEA RNLI volunteers have received a £1,000 donation from a local holiday park.
Haven visited the RNLI lifeboat station on Thursday, July 4, during which Activities Coordinator and Charity Champion, Matthew Wyatt handed an envelope containing £1,000 to Lifeboat Operations Manager Matt Davies.
The amount was raised from owners’ events held at Haven Holiday Park, which included family prize bingo and charity race nights, between March and July.
Upon receiving the donation, Burnham-on-Sea RNLI's Matt Davies, said: "We welcome this donation, which will go towards helping us save lives at sea."
The RNLI charity provides a volunteer-run 24-hour search and rescue service around the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland coasts.
As well as the Burnham-on-Sea station, it operates a further 237 lifeboat stations in the UK and Ireland, and more than 240 lifeguard units on beaches around the UK and Channel Islands.
