Lifelong supporter donates over £1000 to Exmouth RNLI

An 87 year old lady has made a significant donation of over £1,000 to Exmouth RNLI.

Mrs Jean Hiscox spent several years collecting her one and two pence coins in a large whisky bottle for Exmouth RNLI, one of her favourite charities. Earlier this month she presented the bottle, that contained nearly £40, to Exmouth RNLI Fundraising Team Chair, Des White.
