May I take this opportunity to say a big thank you to the people of Ely who wonderfully supported the street collection for our work on Saturday in the city to the tune of £640.08.

A superb result in a week which saw major use of lifeboat resources at sea both in West Wales and the Hebrides when involved in searches for two lots of fishermen affected by accidents at sea.

Your help and support is extremely valuable.
