On Monday 17 March, a new vehicle was introduced to the life-saving fleet at Exmouth RNLI. The launch and recovery vehicle (L&RV) has been part-funded by an ongoing appeal launched by the Exmouth Lifeboat Fundraising Team.
Donations from the Weston Community are swelling the coffers of our Appeal and offers of help keep coming in..
Many individuals and organisations are helping us with our task of raising funds for an appeal for the desperately needed new lifeboat station. Sometimes it is a loved one who wanted to leave funds for us. Sometimes it is an event which has been organised to raise money for us. Sometimes it is by giving us essential time or facilities which would otherwise have cost us money.
