The volunteer crew of Dover's RNLI lifeboat said a huge thank you to members of the Channel Swimming & Piloting Federation when a cheque for £3082 was presented on-board the station's Severn Class lifeboat City Of London II recently.
The association, which escorts would-be channel swimmers across the channel, raised the money at their annual dinner and as is normal at that event the members wanted the money to go to their local lifeboat.
The cheque was accepted by Dover's Second Coxswain James Clapham who said that without donations such as these from organisations and members of the local community the Royal National Lifeboat Institution would cease to exist, and thanked the CS&PF on behalf of the crew and the Dover RNLI branch.
