Two fundraising events by the RNLI in Port St Mary have raised over £1000.

Last Saturday, the volunteer crew donned their yellow wellies and instead of taking to the water in one of the two lifeboats stationed in Port St Mary, they turned their hands to fundraising and hosted a car wash.

For three hours there was a continuous stream of vehicles, looking to be made clean and sparkly, and whilst their owners waited, they were treated to refreshments kindly donated by Shoprite, as well as some delicious cakes baked by members of the station’s fundraising branch.

During the morning the crew proved that no job was too big or too small for them, as they cleaned not only a motorhome but also a local boat!

The total amount raised from the car wash was just over £600, and combined with the nearly £400 that was donated at the car boot sale less than a week before, around £1000 has been raised by those who supported both events.
