| I don't know where people have the view that the RNLI don't need our money. The world has changed and the romance of the sea has gone. The dramatic rescues of striken vessels which many still associate with the RNLI are long gone....instead many more mundane rescues of idiots in inflatables and ill prepared yachties as well as being of great benefit to us.
As a consequence of the "romance " disappearing, I understand the days of people bequething their houses to the RNLI are largely gone and the stock market crash means their investments are not all they once were....so please don't overlook them because you think they are rich!!
I really like the idea of something specific like training a crewman of fitting out a crewman or something like that.
I vote for RNLI, Shark trust and the Scubatrust but it would be nice to continue the link with the MND too.
