The Rotary Club of Redcar has donated £700 to Redcar RNLI in recognition of their help during the Annual Boxing Day Dip. Whilst they were doing  one of their training exercises they ‘Stood By’ with their lifeboats for the safety of hundreds of ‘Dippers’ who braved to cold water to raise money for their own good causes.
