Fundraising events for 2017 concluded on Saturday 4th November with the Annual Christmas Fair at the Village Community Centre raising £466.80.
During the year the local RNLI Committee, led by chairman Ian Ramus, organised 8 fundraising events at various venues and together with collections on our annual Flag Day, Round the Island and Fastnet Race Days, the Royal Oak Bank Holiday Weekend and donations, £6500 will have been raised for the charity that saves lives at sea and on the beaches.
Also, during the year RNLI Souvenirs have been on sale at all our fundraising events and sales have totaled £2200 of which 60% is profit.
There will be some additional income during the rest of the year, as we are the named charity for the collection to be made at Carols on the Green in December and our collection boxes around the Village have still to be collected and the monies counted.
The Committee would welcome some help in the coming year and anyone interested in this worthy cause should contact the Secretary, Mrs Margaret Pruden on: 01590 645969.
The MoS RNLI thanks Milford for their support.
