The Royal National Lifeboat Institution was our chosen charity for our Autumn Concert on 2nd November 2024 in the year the RNLI celebrated its 200th anniversary. In the Scottish Borders region the RNLI operates a lifeboat station at Eyemouth and provides lifeguards at Coldingham Bay.
We raised £89.39 in donations at the concert. The orchestra was able to add £410.61 to this from ticket sales to make a donation totalling £500. Thank you to everyone who supported us.
