This Kaleidoscope Event was in support of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution once again
and raised £169.84, bringing Kaleidoscope's overall total for this worthy cause since 1994 to £6,259.76
 
Sue Coombes, Honorary Secretary of RNLI Stourbridge Branch, said:
 
"Thank you for a brilliant day yesterday - it was great to see so many people supporting you - and us! You will be delighted to hear that the day raised £169.84 - absolutely fantastic - which brings the total raised by Kaleidoscope since 1994 to £6,259.76. This, as I have said before, would cover the cost of kitting out six lifeboat crew members or training six lifeboat crew members - it costs £1,000 every year to train just one crew member, to turn someone who is willing to help save a life into someone who can, and thus turn casualties into survivors. Saving lives is what our crews do - supporters like you make it possible."
