Seal Bay Resort owners make £5,000 donation to RNLI at Selsey
FIVE thousand pounds has been donated to the RNLI by the owners of a local holiday resort to help keep people safe in the region’s waters.
The RNLI at Selsey has received a second donation of £5,000 from the town’s Seal Bay Resort (formerly Bunn Leisure) as it marked the annual Lifeboat Week.
Cove UK, which owns Seal Bay Resort, has made the donation to support the RNLI’s volunteer training and equipment programme
Last year, Cove UK donated £5,000 to the RNLI to specifically assist in the training of Tim Scott, a member of the Seal Bay Resort team and also a volunteer Selsey lifeboat crew member.
Every RNLI volunteer lifeboat crewmember undergoes intensive training to enable them to work safely and effectively on their lifeboat.
Graham Lewis, Commercial Director at Cove UK, said: ‘We know from our colleague Tim Scott about the rigorous training that the RNLI undertakes and we’re pleased that we can support this once again. Selsey has a historic bond with its lifeboat crew and Seal Bay Resort shares the town’s affinity with the RNLI.’
Mr Scott added: ‘We receive great support from people in Selsey and it’s brilliant that Seal Bay Resort has been able to provide more financial help to the service.
‘I live close to the lifeboat station and I always wanted to become involved. I’ve been grateful for the support my employer has provided and the training I have had from the RNLI has been excellent, allowing me to build the knowledge and skills I need to help other people when they need it most.’
