Poppy Watson-Brooks is raising money for RNLI - Royal National Lifeboat Institution
Richmond Running Festival 2014 · 21 September 2014 ·
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
There are 234 lifeboat stations around the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland making sure that we are safe whilst we are on the beach, in the water or roaming the cliff tops.
This service receives no UK government funding and less than 2% of the RNLI’s total funding comes from government sources. Which seems crazy when individual crew member annual training cost is £1266 and A ‘D’ class inshore lifeboat costs £39,000, a ‘B’ class Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat costs £180,000 and a Tamar class all-weather lifeboat cost is £2.7M.Charities pay a small fee for our service.
