The Pembroke Ladies Lifeboat Guild has successfully raised over £1,100 through raffle ticket sales and generous donations, helping to support the RNLI's lifesaving efforts.

The Guild is delighted to announce a total of £1,111.05 raised from Launch A Lifesaver raffle ticket sales in recent months, plus supporters’ donations at the Grand Raffle Draw on Friday, August 15 in Pembroke Town Hall. Pembroke Ladies Guild Crew for the day were Penny, who initiated this fundraiser, Kath, Michelle, Mavis, Jenny, Pat, Rachael, Daphne and William.

A generous £50 donation was received from the cash prize winner. All other prize winners have been notified.

Daphne said:

“£1,111.05 will buy so much for the volunteers of our free 24 /7 lifesaving charity. Check out RNLI Loud and Clear online to see how your support is ‘saving lives at sea.’

“Truly a ‘One Crew’ effort, supported by the 2025 Pembroke Town Crier Cllr Rose Blackburn BEM, announcing our presence outside the Town Hall during the morning.

“Guild Ladies dressed in a variety of Victorianesque attire, serving guests hot drinks and lemonade and selling an abundance of home-made donated cakes and pastries.

“Guess the name of a rather large Teddy Bear was manned by young supporter William Aston-Bush. Here’s to the next time, William!

“Finally, huge thanks to the Tenby Observer, businesses Tesco, Pembroke Town Hall, Pembroke Rugby Club, the Co-op, Rowlies, Motts Butchers, Longmeadow Bakery, Browns Restaurant, The Old Kings Arms and Guy Thomas & Co for displaying posters and selling raffle tickets.

“We look forward to welcoming you all to future events. Without you all, we couldn't do what we do to support the RNLI - Thank you!”
