Five children raise money for the RNLI by selling shells while on holiday

Five children raised money for the RNLI while on their holiday in Salcombe. 

The five young people, Isabella and Amelia aged seven, Constance aged 10, William aged five-and-a-half, and Beatrice aged five, met Salcombe RNLI volunteers off the boat as they completed an exercise. 

A spokesperson for Salcombe RNLI said: "The five [of them], along with their families, were in Salcombe for the half term holidays, staying in a cottage looking directly at the Salcombe ALB Lifeboat at its mooring. 

"Together they decided that during their holiday they would like to raise monies in support of Salcombe RNLI. A plan was hatched to sell shells from their cottage gate, a plan that saw them raise more than £64. Amazing!!

"From the Coxswain and Crew, a big thank you for your amazing effort."
