Penlee Lifeboat receive cheque from the Cherry & Whites.

Sponsorship & Community Team News.

Members of the team went along to the Penlee Lifeboat Station at Newlyn earlier this week where they presented a cheque for the grand sum of £1178 to the crew.
The money was raised at the JPR Charity Dinner back in March and will be put towards the building of the new lifeboat station facilities at Newlyn.
This visit was both inspiring and humbling as not only did the team have a guided tour of the Penlee lifeboat the 'Ivan Ellen' but they also paid a visit to the old Penlee lifeboat station which is in effect best described as a time capsule.
The old station has been left in the same state in was in when the Soloman Brown was launched on that fateful night back in 1981 and the atmosphere in the building demanded a huge amount of respect for the crew who lost their lives trying to save others who were in peril.

In the past 6 years the club has raised over £15000 for charities including The Cornwall Deaf Association, Cornwall Hospice Care, Help For Hero's and the Cornwall Air Ambulance. The club are very fortunate to have members guests and sponsors who will donate money year in year out for some very worth while causes.

Thank you one and all.
