Go Orange Day
For Go Orange Day the Independent lifeboat Crews of the United Kingdom will be joining forces to raise awareness for the Local Lifeboat stations that operate outside the auspices of the RNLI.
What are the independent units doing on this day?
Throughout the UK these units are arranging events and collections to celebrate their cause. Local and National media have been contacted and all known methods are being used to highlight these lifeboat stations. But as always they rely on the generosity of the public to make the day a success.
We need YOUR Support!
Arrange a fundraising event for your local Independent Lifeboat crew.
SO WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Whatever you do on the days, have fun! Remember that any funds you raise will be donated directly to your local independent lifeboat, ensuring that your money will stay in your area!
We want everyone to know we are INDEPENDENT and need funding to help keep us going.
If you visit the coast on a day out or holiday you never know when you may need to call upon the Lifeboat Volunteers!
