Battery Megastore has donated £25,000 to support the crucial work of the RNLI and agreed to pay a further £2 for each marine and boat battery sold once sales have exceeded 10,000 units. In addition Battery Megastore will also be distributing the RNLI Serious Fun DVD as well as asking their customers to make donations online.
Giles Briggs, Battery Megastore partner and pictured here presenting the cheque to the crew at Poole says '‘RNLI volunteer crews rescue on average 22 people each day regardless of the weather or conditions. As a supplier of boat and marine batteries Battery Megastore is delighted to support the work of the RNLI and hopes to continue to do so for many years to come’.
Rhys Parker, RNLI Corporate Partnerships Officer says ‘Last year the charity experienced its busiest year on record, with volunteer lifeboat crews launching 9,223 times and lifeguards responding to 13,591 incidents. With increasing demand for the service, the RNLI is extremely grateful for the support of Battery Megastore.’
