Members of Shanklin Conservative Club have raised £3,086 for their nominated charity, Sandown and Shanklin Independent Lifeboat throughout the year.
The money was collected during the year from a variety of events held at Shanklin Conservative Club including collections, quizzes, race nights and movie nights.
A cheque was presented to Coxswain and Operations Manager Mark Birch, by the Chair of Shanklin Conservative Club George Webster and his wife Barbara, along with Management Committee members Carole Chase and Terry Hobbs.
Terry also is volunteer as a crew member for Sandown and Shanklin Independent Lifeboat so knows first hand the importance of donations to help fund this essential service.
The money donated will help to fund the Sandown and Shanklin Independent Lifeboat by training new crew and providing them with new drysuits and lifejackets
Mark Birch, operations manager, said:
“We are very humbled by this kind donation by the members of Shanklin conservative club”.
Guilt money won’t save you from hell….(IMO).
