At a recent committee meeting, RNLI Hythe & Calshot Fundraising Branch press o cer, Dan Poole, was surprised with a long service award from the RNLI. Dan was delighted to be presented with a silver badge for ten years of service by Branch Chairman, Terry Ashmore. Dan said: “Although the crew bravely risk their safety every time there’s a ‘shout’, it is vital they have the means to do so with all the necessary kit and equipment, and that’s where the voluntary fundraisers come in. I was therefore honoured to be acknowledged by the RNLI for my small contribution towards saving lives at sea.” Right: Dan with RNLI badge Christmas Shoebox Appeal – Can you Help?
