Porthdinllaen Easter Fundraising Dip
Porthdinllaen Lifeboat Station will be holding a fundraising on Easter Sunday to raise funds for the RNLI charity.
The original fundraising dip scheduled for New Years day had to be cancelled due to adverse weather conditions, and due to the popularity of the event, it was decided to re-schedule to Easter Sunday.
The Dip itself will take place at Bwlch Beach, Morfa Nefyn at 12:00 Midday on Sunday 16th April (Easter Sunday). Those wishing to participate are welcome to attend in fancy dress and are requested to register at Bwlch Beach from 11:15am onwards.
There will be a fee of £3 for those who participate which will include a warm drink after the dip and a medal for taking part. Porthdinllaen Lifeboat Station will also be open to the public and families are welcome to come and meet the crew and see the stations Tamar Class lifeboat the John D Spicer.

Key facts about the RNLI
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is the charity that saves lives at sea. Our volunteers provide a 24-hour search and rescue service in the United Kingdom and Ireland from 238 lifeboat stations, including four along the River Thames and inland lifeboat stations at Loch Ness, Lough Derg, Enniskillen and Lough Ree. Additionally the RNLI has more than 1,000 lifeguards on over 240 beaches around the UK and operates a specialist flood rescue team, which can respond anywhere across the UK and Ireland when inland flooding puts lives at risk.
The RNLI relies on public donations and legacies to maintain its rescue service. As a charity it is separate from, but works alongside, government-controlled and funded coastguard services. Since the RNLI was founded in 1824 our lifeboat crews and lifeguards have saved at least 140,000 lives. Volunteers make up 95% of the charity, including 4,600 volunteer lifeboat crew members and 3,000 volunteer shore crew. Additionally, tens of thousands of other dedicated volunteers raise funds and awareness, give safety advice, and help in our museums, shops and offices.
