Anstruther RNLI's success at Dundee Kiltwalk 2022

21/8/2022

A team from Anstruther RNLI complete the 2022 Dundee Kiltwalk in aid of the new Lifeboat Station!

A big well done to all those that completed the Kiltwalk in Dundee today! We're very pleased to announce that a team of some of our amazing volunteers and members of their family also successfully crossed the finish line in high spirits.

They were walking to raise funds for the new Lifeboat station, and with the help of The Hunter Foundation, will see every penny doubled with a 50% boost!

There is still time to show your support! Please use the link below if you would like to donate! Thank You!

Swimsafe a great success!

26/7/2022

96 children benefitted from the RNLI Swimsafe campaign, held at Anstruther Lifeboat Station on Sunday 24 of July.

This provided water safety advice to an enthusiastic bunch of 7 - 14 year olds!

The main aim of the event was to reinforce the 'Float-to-live' technique, should they find themselves in difficulty at sea.

This included important advice such as:

Stop and think- always swim in a safe place
Stay together- always swim with an adult
Float- if you find yourself in trouble in the water, float on your bck like a starfish
Call 999 in an emergency and ask for the Coastguard


The attendees were rewarded with a special certificate to show their attendance at the session!

A big thank you from Anstruther RNLI goes out to the participants, parents and volunteers for a very successful day!

Swim Safe is coming to Anstruther! 🏊‍♂️
 
We're excited to announce that our RNLI lifeguards will be delivering FREE Swim Safe sessions in Anstruther on Sunday 24 July for kids aged 7-14.
 
Following a successful sunny day at Portobello Beach last weekend, we're looking forward to teaching more children about water safety in a fun and safe environment.
 
There's still plenty of spaces available throughout the day.

​We have been selected as the 4th Launch a Memory (LAM) Lifeboat in the RNLI.
We are looking to have 10,000 names (5000 each side) on the new decals of our Shannon Class Lifeboat expected on station Q4 2023-Q1 2024.
We have had a great start and the concept has been warmly received both locally and at a national level.
It’s an absolute honour for us to have been selected. It will bring a huge amount of interest to the new station and through that boost our loyal supporter audience.

More information can be seen on the RNLI webpage, click here

Anstruther Lifeboat Crew gave the local community a clean start to May by hosting a carwash in aid of raising funds for the new lifeboat shed. Their customers were treated to a burger while their cars went through the existing shed, which was turned into a car wash for the day.

After a fantastic turnout by local drivers, the crew raised a superb £1600 for the new shed which is due to house the replacement for the existing All Weather Lifeboat (ALB).

Anstruther Lifeboat would like to thank all those who turned out for the event.
