Generous Hartlepool company Cicor raised £1,200 for the town’s lifeboat service after holding a series of fundraising events.

Hartlepool RNLI Lifeboat Station was chosen by employees at the manufacturer on the Tofts Farm Industrial Estate as one of their nominated charities for 2024-2025.

Over the last year they held a number of fundraising events including lunchtime bingo, a Christmas raffle, Christmas jumper day and football fundraising cards.

"On behalf of all the volunteers at Hartlepool RNLI we like to say thank you to all the staff for their fundraising efforts to help us save lives at sea,” he said.
