Although the donation couldn’t be made as part of a formal presentation just yet, Byron hopes to be able to visit the charity’s Pett Level boathouse soon. In the meantime, the funds have been passed to the charity via online donation, celebrated with a bit of elbow-bumping with Static Trader’s Transport Manager (and PLIRB volunteer) John.
Already the donation’s been put to good use, towards printing of the rescue boat’s latest greetings cards and calendars. The volunteers have maintained a ‘rescue ready’ 24/7 call out service throughout lockdown, and it’s hoped they’ll soon be able to resume charity fundraising by selling their merchandise at local events, as restrictions gradually lift at last.
