We look forward to seeing everyone today at our Gala Day! 👋🏻

It’s looking to be a great day with great weather and all for a great cause! 🌊 🛟

See you all soon! 😊

✨THANK YOU✨

Thank you to Kildalloig Farm for having as us one of their fantastic charities at their Garden open day on Sunday. Also big thanks to everyone who came along, donated and provided us with delicious home baking! 🍰

Over £1000 was raised for our charity! 🌊⚓️

We would also like to thank everyone who stopped by our stall at both Carradale Harbour Day and Southend Highland Games and to those who donated and shopped at our gifts and souvenir stall.

A great amount has been raised this week for the RNLI between donations and retail and it all goes into saving lives at sea.

We have a wonderful community and wouldn’t be able to have the assets we do without you all and your generosity.

If you didn’t get to attend Kildalloig Garden open day, these are the cakes yous missed out on.. 😋

Our flag will be flying at half-mast today, Monday 15th June in memory of Bill Ewen and Frank Petsch of Marine Rescue New South Wales in Australia who tragically lost their lives last month.

Our thoughts today are with the families, friends and colleagues of Bill and Frank. Their sacrifice is a reminder of the courage and dedication that all SAR maritime personnel hold while answering the call for help at sea.
