People from all walks of life like to help the RNLI and this fact was certainly demonstrated recently. The organiser of the City of Edinburgh lifeboat appeal were delighted to receive a cheque for £35 from the residents of the town's night shelter—the People's Palace. The money had been collected over five months by people whose circumstances are far from happy but who wanted to be associated with the appeal.
