RNLI grateful for the support of the public

SIR, — The Downpatrick branch of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution would like to thank all the collectors and members of the public who contributed so very generously to this year’s collection.

We want to especially thank the younger generation for their support during the collection which raised £1,081.93. The RNLI is dedicated to saving lives at sea and this rescue service is entirely supported by voluntary contributions.

Yours etc.,

ANNE RICKARD,

Box Secretary.
