A spokesperson for the Tofts Farm Industrial Estate company said 'The Hartlepool RNLI Lifeboat Station was selected by employees at Cicor Hartlepool as one of our nominated charities for 2024/2025.

Everyone at the Hartlepool site is aware of the necessary life-saving work done by the RNLI and we value the commitment and dedication that the volunteers provide to the service.

During the last 12 months we have held a number of fundraising events including Lunchtime Bingo, a Christmas Raffle, Christmas Jumper Day and Football Fundraising Cards.

We are really pleased to have raised £1,200 for the Hartlepool Lifeboat Station'.
