Newhaven RNLI has thanked its volunteers for a successful year of support.

Newhaven Lifeboat Station said it is ‘very lucky’ to be supported by two volunteer teams who work to raise money for saving lives at sea.

Newhaven RNLI said a large amount of the station’s fundraising efforts came from the shop with 11 volunteers keeping it operational for seven days a week over 51 weeks of the year.

They said the shop’s sales reached £21,500 for the second year in a row, with an additional £4,050 in sales at events like the Summer Fayre.
