Illogan coffee morning raises £730 for Sennen and St Agnes RNLI

A few hours, a community hall and a table full of lifeboat-themed cupcakes. That was all it took for a group in Illogan to raise £730 for not one but two of Cornwall’s lifeboat crews.

And it isn’t the first time they’ve done it.

A coffee morning in Illogan

The coffee morning was held this week at the community hall in Illogan, near Redruth, organised by a group of local women.

With help from members of Illogan Community Choir and other supporters, the event brought in £730 in just a few hours.

Shared between Sennen Cove and St Agnes

The total has been rounded up so that two stations can split it evenly. Sennen Cove Lifeboat Station and St Agnes RNLI will each receive £370.

Sennen Cove RNLI said the money will help support the needs of its crews and keep them safe at sea.

“Our friends in Illogan have done it again”

The station singled out Liz Davey, Jackie Gainey, Julie Cardew and friends for their efforts in making the event a success.

Sennen Cove RNLI described the group as “our friends in Illogan”, adding: “Thank you all so much for your support.”
