BARMOUTH RNLI has received a four-figure boost following a generous donation from a local holiday park.

Last Saturday, representatives from Barmouth RNLI were invited to Shell Island for their annual dinner dance, where they were presented with a mammoth cheque.

The owners of Shell Island resort and campsite, the Workman family, have been staunch supporters of the RNLI since the 1970s, and each year the Barmouth branch receive very generous contributions from events held at the site.

This year they were delighted to receive proceeds from the Annual Gala Day and other events held at Shell Island during the year totalling £1,330.

Receiving the cheque on behalf of the RNLI, Coxswain Peter Davies said: “Barmouth RNLI has always enjoyed close working relationships with Shell Island and we are very grateful to them for their continued generosity.

“The money will be put towards our new D Class Inshore Lifeboat which we hope to have in next year."
