Nice ‘shout’ for a £250 Donation to Queensferry RNLI
In recognition of the invaluable service provided by RNLI volunteers, a two-man ‘crew’ from Lodge Kirkliston Maitland 482 called into the RNLI Station at South Queensferry and donated £250.
Our R.W.M. Bro. Peter Cox, who was accompanied by I.P.M. Bro. Stuart Donald said: “RNLI Volunteers are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, and we salute the work they do in saving lives at sea.
We are always looking to support local Good Causes, and Queensferry R.N.L.I. is a very worthy recipient.” Bro. Peter is pictured presenting to Lifeboat Operations Manager David Smart and volunteer crew member Jordan Martin, alongside several Queensferry crew members.
Lifeboat crew callouts are known as ‘shouts’, and in 2025 the crew aided 119 people and saved four lives.
Close to the Forth Rail Bridge and named the ‘Queensferry Lifeboat Station’, it was established in 1967, and the new station was built in 2012.
