Story

Thank You for Supporting Our Buy a Brick Fundraiser

With the renovation of the Freshwater Independent Lifeboat Station set to begin in 2026, we’re proud to launch our Buy a Brick Fundraiser. Every brick purchased will directly support the FILB building project and help shape the future of our lifesaving station.

Whether your brick honours a loved one, celebrates your family, or simply shows your support, it will become a permanent part of our new building—visible and remembered for generations to come.
