Fundraiser for the RNLI

| 0 comments

At our recent Stories of the sea Museum we decided to do a fundraiser for the RNLI.  Together both P5 classes  managed to raise £192.71.  Rhoda Watt came in to collect the cheque.  She is part of the fundraiser committee for the Lerwick Lifeboat.

Mrs Watt shared some information about the Lerwick lifeboat.  It is an all weather lifeboat with two turbo charged engines.  It had 18 call outs in 2023 and it has had 11 so far this year.  A three hour call out costs the lifeboat £1500 in fuel.  The lifeboat relies on donations and legacies to keep going. This past March the RNLI celebrated it’s 200 year anniversary.  King Charles in now the patron.  A recent purchase for the lifeboat was a heat seeking camera.

Some of the meta-skills that the Museum fundraiser included were:

  • communicating
  • feeling
  • collaborating
  • leading
  • creativity
  • curiosity

Thank you for all donations and thanks to Mrs Watt for coming in to speak to us today.
