Boxing clever: Les Brunskill of Alvaston, Derby, makes bird boxes and sells them for £2.50 each, all of which goes to the RNLI. He has made no fewer than 185 of them so far, at a total value of £462.50. He charges nothing for the materials and sells them himself and through Littleover and Ilkeston branches. His target is £500 for the Institution but will go on making them for as long as there is a demand.
