Local business donates to RNLI for 200th year anniversary

Wednesday 3rd July, 2024

The RNLI, the charity that saves lives at sea, this year marked its 200th anniversary. Local business Cornwall Garage Door Centre, led by Kieran and Emily Carter, were keen to do their bit to support the charities work.

Attending the RNLI 200 family day at the Falmouth RNLI station, the husband-and-wife duo were able to enjoy the boats with their son. They gifted the crew fantastic new beanie hats to wear when they attend call outs in honour of the anniversary.

Kieran Carter, Co-Owner of Cornwall Garage Door Centre said: “We try to donate to the cause once a year to ensure we can be more purposeful and direct with our donations, and to make sure the RNLI receive 100% of the funds.

“The cause is close to both of our hearts as Emily’s brother Elliot is part of the RNLI in Falmouth as the ALB Coxswains. The charity saves lives daily and is largely run by volunteers and donations so we’re pleased to be able to do our small part to support the crew.”
