As a boat owner, a member of a local yacht club and a resident of Hamble for many years. I am so grateful that we have a local Lifeboat Station. The volunteers who provide such a valuable service to the boating community and river users are invaluable.

I was so saddened to hear of the vandalism caused to our local assets. The Lifeboat, The Pink Ferry, the public toilets and private property down on the Quay , this summer. I want to do something to help recover the cost inflicted.

Please, if you can, spare a little to help me raise some money for our Lifeboat, I would be very grateful.
