RNLI shops to reopen for Christmas run-up

ALONG with other non-essential businesses, Lyme Regis RNLI shop will reopen doors on Wednesday, December 2 as lockdown restrictions are lifted.

The reopening will come just two weeks after Lyme Regis lifeboat crew made their third appearance on BBC series ‘Saving Lives at Sea’.

The shop is a major contributor to the life-saving charity’s funds and, despite closures due to lockdowns, recently announced that it had raised £48,230 between January and October this year.

The shop’s volunteer manager Krys Lavery said: “We are delighted to be back in the business of supporting our charity and just in time to help our loyal customers with their Christmas present choices.”
