In the children's programme 'Blue Peter' on B.B.C. television on 8th June an appeal was made to help provide replacement rescue craft for the four 'Blue Peter' inshore life-boats which are stationed at Littlehampton, North Berwick, Beaumaris and St. Agnes.

These four boats, which have rescued many lives, were provided by 'Blue Peter' listeners sending to the Institution just on a quarter of a million paper-backed books which were sold to provide the money to pay for these boats.

Paper-backed books were also asked for in this new replacement appeal and the response to date has been very encouraging..
