ISLE OF WIGHT INDEPENDENT LIFEBOAT & INSHORE LIFEBOATS
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Isle of Wight has 3 independent lifeboat / inshore lifeboats, Ryde, Freshwater and Sandown & Shanklin. These all rely on independent funding and do not get any funding from the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institute). Eco-Friendships CIC have partnered with them to support the excellent work they do. The teams are made up of volunteers who give their time to contribute in some way to this vital cause on the island. No more of a worthy cause than one that can save lives..
Jumble Sales
If you are having a jumble sale at your school or community centre, we would be happy to collect any left over clothes and shoes. Please contact us.
