MEMBERS of Bude RNLI turned out in force on Monday, January 27 to raise money and do their part towards the National SOS Fundraising Day on January 31.

Despite the appalling weather, they carried out a bucket collection courtesy of Morrisons supermarket.

More than £920 was collected thanks to the generous support of shoppers.

Carol White, Chairman of Bude RNLI Fundraisers said; "This amazing amount kick starts a new year for Bude, which aims to keep up with last year's achievement of being the highest fundraising branch in the South West."
