Story

We all love chocolate and if you were to look in the pocket of our volunteer crew’s drysuit or open a storage pouch on our D Class inshore lifeboat, the chances are you will find that secret stash of chocolate bars that keep our crews going when they launch on a cold dark night or spend long hours on our inshore lifeboats saving lives at sea.

This Easter, can you help our crew to bring the Ollie Naismith II to Looe?

Instead of buying our crew an Easter egg or chocolate bar, can you donate the price of that treat towards our Looe Lifeboat Appeal?

In 2010 the D-Class Inshore Lifeboat Ollie Naismith was officially named and went on service at Looe. The lifeboat was named after a popular local teenager Ollie Naismith who sadly died in a tragic road traffic accident in 2009. Ollies parents, Maxine and John Naismith spearheaded a fundraising campaign to raise the funds for the lifeboat which has gone on to save many lives in and around Looe including the life of Louis Webber, a young local lad who was of a similar age to Ollie. The lifeboat is now coming to the end of its operational life so the team at Looe Lifeboat station are teaming up with the Naismiths and Webber family to launch the Looe Lifeboat Appeal to raise the £78,000 required to provide a replacement lifeboat which will be named the Ollie Naismith II.Your donation to this community appeal will help to fund this lifeboat which will continue the selfless work of our volunteer lifeboat crew in Looe.
