Hundreds of pounds was raised for the RNLI during a fundraising car wash at Burnham-On-Sea lifeboat station on Saturday (February 1st).
Over 70 vehicles were washed by the station’s volunteers at their station in Pier Street, Burnham over the course of four hours, raising a total of £695.
Burnham Lifeboat Operations Manager Matt Davies said: “Many thanks go to all who supported our fundraising day.”
“A very special thank you also to the operators of the car wash next door who closed for the morning, enabling us to maximize the collection.”
“Our lifeboat station volunteers gave their usual high level of commitment, and money raised will go towards keeping the lifeboats afloat.”
The ‘Soap Our Saloons’ event was part of the RNLI’s national SOS-themed fundraising event when groups, businesses and individuals hold fundraising events.
