Living In: New Quay

NEW QUAY RNLI recently received a nice surprise when Rosie Pryce from Ffosyffin, Aberaeron visited the station to present a cheque.

Rosie and her friends had decided to raise funds amongst themselves during the firebreak lockdown in Wales in October.

Bernie Davies, New Quay RNLI mechanic said: “It was a lovely surprise when we received a socially distant visit at our front doors from Rosie with a cheque of £115 towards New Quay Lifeboat Station. We thanked them all for their generosity. Donating money to New Quay Lifeboat Station ensures we can carry on with our lifesaving work in Cardigan Bay.”

Rosie said, “We wanted to donate to a charity during the lockdown and decided on our very own local RNLI lifeboat station. The work the volunteers do is invaluable and I have always admired the selfless bravery of the lifeboat crew. 2020 has been an awful year in so many ways and charities are struggling. I feel that essential services run by charities such as Wales Air Ambulance and RNLI are so vital and need our support for them to continue saving lives, especially in these difficult times.”
