Julie Hope, Carol Butterfield and others collected £1,065 for the town’s Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) volunteers during the annual August event.

After handing the money over with supporters, Julie has thanked people for their donations, adding: “The RNLI volunteers leave their families at all hours of the day to risk their lives to save lives at sea so next year we want to make our fundraiser for the Hartlepool RNLI bigger and better.”
