The feedback we get when fundraising is overwhelmingly positive and it almost certainly has generated more funds.
What is nice in amongst the 'channel' backlash are the positive comments from the series where ordinary people see just how much the job involves, it comes across that many folk don't realise how testing it can be on a shout. Lerwick were utfor 18 hours yesterday and last night in that storm, they must be shattered.
I do my job (fundraising Chair of a branch) to help fund the kit that keeps my mates and all the crews as safe as possible when they go on calls like that, I am proud of what we do both as a branch and the charity as a whole, ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
Still one of my favourite programmes, it never ceases to amaze me some of the treacherous conditions these crews go out in and the risks they take.

It is perhaps worth mentioning that the RNLI is the main provider of lifeboat services, but far from the only one . All deserve support , and it's easy to fall into the trap (as I had done) that all lifeboats were RNLI .
I think the vast majority are RNLI. Any idea how many are provided by others ?Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
