£ DONATIONS
£
You can make donations in
several ways to the RNLI.
Obviously with Cash but also by Cheque, Postal
Order, Direct Debit and by a Legacies agreement. Six
out of every ten lifeboat launches are only possible
thanks to legacies.
The RNLI volunteer crews expect no thanks or reward
for the risks they take or sacrifices they make.
For their safety, the RNLI needs to ensure that they
have up-to-date boats and equipment
both today and in
the future.
If
you think you could help with a legacy, please send
for the RNLI's new,
free booklet and video. These useful guides give you
helpful information about how to make,
or update your Will, as well as how to leave a legacy to the RNLI.
Please contact John Marshall, Legacy
Enquiries Officer
