The donation is ‘ring fenced’ by the RNLI for use on their Portrush operation, keeping everything local.
Portrush Lifeboat is one of the busiest in the UK and frequently has to rescue seafarers in distress off the coast of Scotland and County Donegal as well as all around the north coast.

Hide AdRaft Race Chairperson Trevor Abernethy expressed his enormous gratitude to his fellow committee members and volunteers: "We’ve got the event firmly back on the map after Covid and it was great to have the Ramore and Exorna Kitchens and Bedrooms as our main sponsors this year. The support we received from the business community both locally and from various parts of Northern Ireland has been tremendous.
“Expect an even bigger programme next year as it’s the 200th anniversary of the RNLI.”
