A collection at Teignmouth’s Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI) carol service, held on Sunday (December 7), generated £746.69 for the lifesaving charity.

The service, held at St Michael’s Church on Teignmouth seafront, included traditional carols, seasonal readings and a special performance from singing group Red Rock A Capella.

As well as raising vital funds for Teignmouth’s Lifeboat station, the service was an opportunity to bring all the volunteers together during the festive season and thank the charity’s supporters.

It costs around £56,000 per year to run and maintain Teignmouth’s lifeboat service and the volunteer crew provide a 24-hour search and rescue service 365 days a year along the South Devon Coastline.
