📣 RNLI RHYL FISH SUPPER 📣

On Thursday the 8th of October, we opened our doors to the public for the annual tradition of our RNLI Fish Supper!

The event saw over 100 people enjoying a Fish and Chip meal in the station, as well as a short film composed of the work that the RNLI does for the public. Brian Howatson from The Rotary Club also delivered a speech and generously donated to the RNLI, and a raffle was held where attendees had the opportunity to win several different prizes. As a whole, the event raised over £1,400 for the charity thanks to our wonderful locals and supporters who attended the event.

A spokesperson from our station said:

“it was a lovely night, and truly a ‘one crew’ event ‘filled with delicious food, full of happy smiles, and wonderful company”.

We’d like to warmly thank everyone who attended the event for giving us their time and support, and the Volunteers and various external businesses for their hard work and generosity in helping us provide for the event 💙

Young people bring RNLI wartime stories to life through giant sand art 🖼️ 💙

Last weekend on the 26th of September, St Asaph Girl Guides, Henllan Girl Guides, Trefnant Girl Guides, RNLI Volunteers, and members of the public came together to create an incredible 80m artwork on Rhyl Beach as part of the RNLI’s Stories of Courage 1939-45 project.

Working alongside the talented team from Sand In Your Eye, participants learned about the RNLI’s roles during the war, and that between 1939 and 1945, RNLI crews launched 3,760 times and saved 6,376 lives. They also discovered the work of the RNLI’s pioneering ‘Lady Launchers’, and the humanity shown by lifeboat crews who rescued anyone in danger at sea, regardless of their nationality.

Alongside learning about RNLI heritage and creating the artwork, participants also learned some of the charity’s most important water safety advice from RNLI volunteers, helping them learn skills which could one day save lives. A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped bring this fascinating chapter of RNLI history to life 💙

Prestatyn Locals create a ‘wishing well’ on abandoned island, and donate proceeds to the RNLI

A group of residents from Prestatyn, also known as the ‘First Avenue Islanders’ made it their goal to restore a neglected and forgotten-about island in the middle of their street, and set up a ‘wishing well’ to donate the money collected to charity.

The First Avenue Islanders donated the proceeds of £76.53 from the past 12 months to the RNLI in order to support the charity’s volunteers and lifeguards, and they have stated that the funds raised will continue to be donated to the RNLI yearly. The well can be found in First Avenue, Prestatyn, where it’s free for the public to use for the price of a single penny.

The station would like to thank the group for their continued support in the charity, and appreciate any and all donations given kindly to the RNLI 💙
