As part of the Community Fund Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm has awarded a £570,000 donation to the RNLI in North Wales. This funding package has supported a new rescue support vehicle based at St Asaph which can be deployed to incidents across the region and further afield when required. The vehicle has already proven to be invaluable during flooding in Cumbria, December 2015. The vehicle was called upon by the RNLI’s Flood Rescue Team to assist those communities and families in need with over 200 people being evacuated.
Gwynt y Môr recognises that training turns volunteers into lifesavers. The funding package is also supporting training for all the volunteer crews along the North Wales Coast for the next five years at the Llandudno, Conwy, Rhyl and Flint lifeboat stations.
