New Beer Named After Chiswick RNLI | |||||
Local lifeboat will get a percentage of proceeds from sales
Chiswick RNLI has launched a new way to help support the work of the local lifeboat. The 'Friends of Chiswick RNLI' started at a special event at the Lamb Brewery (formerly the Barley Mow) last Thursday and the local lifeboat hope that drinkers will also become involved in fundraising-merely by raising a glass of the right kind of beer. The Lifeboat will benefit from a donation of 25p per pint from the sale of new beer 'Lifeboat Volunteer' which will be sold in the pub and also in the Botanist in Kew. The beer is being brewed in the pubs' own microbreweries. The RNLI are keen to encourage the public to continue to help support them raise funds for the much-needed service. Chiswick RNLI Lifeboat is the second busiest in the UK and Ireland. The RNLI has 233 lifeboat stations including four on the Thames. Chiswick RNLI lifeboat became operational on the 2nd January 2002. Since then it has responded to over 2,100 emergency calls and rescued 1,000 people. The four Thames lifeboats together have responded to over 5,000 calls.
