Starting them young! Joseph Stravrinidis, aged six, of Southport has been doing sterling work for the RNLI. During the September meeting of the Southport branch, he presented the treasurer with money raised by selling drawings and cards, which he had made himself.

At the November meeting of the branch Joseph made another presentation, bringing his total amount raised to £37.10. Joseph had gone out and about with mum as minder, selling goods from a catalogue from which the 25% commission went to the RNLI.
