With your help and support over £60,000 has been raised since the start of our fundraising campaign.
We have set up the committees needed to run the new St Abbs Lifeboat. We are working towards setting up “St Abbs Lifeboat” as a new independent charity and are currently operating as a project of the St Abbs Community Trust charity.
We are about to launch our new online shop and are working towards having a mobile shop up and running for next summer. We’ve created a range of Christmas Cards and other branded merchandise which we’ve been selling on a stall at the weekly Friday market in the Ebba Centre and Dunbar T-shirt shop has helped us create a range of “Support St Abbs Lifeboat” clothing.
The collection boxes arrive in the post.
We are in the process of placing over 75 collection boxes in local pubs, shops and other establishments. The cheeky calendar created by the St Abbs Market Traders is selling well after appearing in the national press. We held a very successful coffee morning and a darts competition and will be holding a Race Night on 20th November at 8pm in the Ebba Centre, St Abbs.
Euan Gibson takes the main stage at the BSAC Conference.
After a very successful appearance on the main stage at the BSAC conference we will be attending the ScotSAC conference in Stirling next weekend.
We have received over £13,000 via our Just Giving site. Robin Hood Dive Club have held several successful events (thank you). We are receiving cheques from you nearly every day and poignantly we’ve been gifted money in people’s wills.
With your support we are making this happen… There will be a lifeboat back in St Abbs soon. If you’ve donated 20p or £25,000, bought a t-shirt, attended an event or helped out in any other way we’d like to thank you. Every penny has helped bring the day a lifeboat is based back in St Abbs closer.
