Stormy Stan helped members of the Mudeford lifeboat crew and the Collection Crew from the Salisbury, Wilton and District Fundraising Branch of the RNLI to raise funds for the branch’s first collection event of 2024, the 200th anniversary of the founding of RNLI.
Over £400 was raised for the RNLI at Salisbury Football Club’s recent home game against Poole Town Football Club, and the proceeds will be used to support the activities of the Mudeford lifeboat station.
The Chairman of the Branch, Ray Stedman, said, “We are very grateful for the contributions from the home and away supporters and express our gratitude to the directors and staff of the football club for allowing us to hold the collection. The large attendance at the match meant that we raised considerably more than last season.”
This collection was the first of a busy schedule of fundraising events by the Branch in the RNLI’s bi-centenary year.
