Helston based casual and technical diving clothing company Fourth Element recently presented all the Falmouth lifeboat crew members with a pair of high performance gloves.
Jessica Burnell and Sarah Marshall from Fourth Element visited the station to meet the crew and give them their gloves after they returned from a recent Sunday morning exercise.
Sarah explained why they wanted to support the lifeboat crew: "I know the RNLI pay a key role in looking after divers when they have problems so we felt it was time to give something back."
Jessica added: "At Fourth Element we’re all watersports enthusiasts so when we’re not working we’re in or on the water doing something, whether it’s diving, surfing, sailing or kayaking. Because of this we feel a responsibility to help the lifeboat crew where we can."
Luke Wills, Falmouth RNLI second coxswain, said: "It was very kind of Fourth Element to think of the lifeboat crew with this donation. The new gloves will be put to good use so thank you very much to the company for their generous support."
