A TEIFI lifeboat station has been boosted with a donation of more than £6,000!

New Quay RNLI Lifeboat Station was presented with a cheque of £6,379 by Newcastle Emlyn NFU Mutual.

The funds were allocated to the charity by the Newcastle Emlyn office as part of the NFU Mutual’s agency giving fund.

A total of £1.92 million was available from the fund throughout 2022 for the company’s offices to donate to charity.

Bernie Davies, a mechanic at New Quay RNLI, said: “We would like to thank the NFU team in Newcastle Emlyn for choosing us as their designated charity.

“Our volunteers are on call 24/7 to help people in difficulty on our coast and at sea and we rely on donations like this to fund our work.

“It was great to meet the NFU team and show them around the lifeboats and the station so they could see first-hand where the money will go.”

Dai Morgan, NFU group secretary, said: “To ensure these donations are distributed across the UK, NFU Mutual’s agents with over 295 offices nationwide, have been given the opportunity to nominate local charities to receive a share of the fund.

“We decided to donate to our local RNLI station as the work they do, saving lives at sea, is invaluable to our community as we are located on the coast of Cardigan Bay.”
