Fundraising is vital for the RNLI. Each year, thousands of volunteers lend their time and talents, taking part in all sorts of events including races, coffee mornings, beach football competitions, sponsored runs and running RNLI shops.
Walmer Lifeboat hosted a car show in May 2012. Over 400 cars of all ages turned out for an amazing show of support for Walmer lifeboat and the RNLI in general.
Over £3500 was raised and the event was a huge success and very well supported by walk in members of the public. An estimated 10,000 visited during the course of the day.
There is a high likelihood that a 2013 event will be organised.
