The last Friday in January is RNLI SOS day, the charity’s biggest annual fundraising day. This year it falls on Friday 27th January and Ramsey’s volunteer RNLI lifeboat crew are hosting their annual SOS day winter barbeque and car wash at Ramsey RNLI Lifeboat Station on Queen’s Promenade, Ramsey.

The barbeque will be fired up and the doors of the boathouse open between 10.00 am and 2.30 pm on Friday 27th January. As ever the public are invited to come along to the boathouse and support the RNLI and SOS day by purchasing a barbeque bap and having their car washed whilst enjoying a ‘bit of a skeet’ and a ‘brew with the crew’.

Dawn Dickens, a member of Ramsey’s volunteer lifeboat crew and also the station’s education officer, has organised an exhibition in the foyer of the town library focussing on the development of crew lifejackets in the RNLI. The exhibition will run from Monday 23rd to Saturday 28th January.

RNLI SOS day is the charity’s biggest annual fundraising day. It is held on the last Friday in January and this year falls on Friday 28th January. The funds raised on SOS day help to ensure that the RNLI’s volunteer crew members and lifeguards can continue to provide their life saving service.
