Lifeboat Fundraising Branch Volunteers 'Open Day'.

We are hoping to raise £700,000 for the new Tamar Lifeboat over the next thirteen months. The name of the new Eastbourne Lifeboat has been chosen to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and will be named ‘Diamond Jubilee’.

Our new lifeboat may take part in the Queens Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the River Thames on Sunday 3rd June 2012.

If you can help with fundraising, we would love to hear from you.

This can be help on a regular basis or a couple of hours when you have time.

You may wish to organise an event or you may be able to help by collecting and selling lifeboat souvenirs.

Anyone interested can contact the Chair or other Committee members.

We are also holding an “OPEN DAY” on 28th January 2012 at the Langham Hotel from 10am to 5pm for Lifeboat Fundraising BranchVolunteers.
