MEMBERS of the Chard branch of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution collected £237 at Sainsbury’s in the town on Friday.
Shirley Dexter of the branch said: “We would like to thank everyone who donated. It is a remarkable sum considering it poured most of the day.
“Our thanks also to Sainsbury’s, who were very kind and let us stand inside their doors, for which we were very grateful.”
