As part of the appeal, all schools throughout Suffolk and Essex received an RNLI schools activity pack to encourage awareness and teach sea safety with the opportunity of hosting a fundraising event.

Gazeley primary school had the greatest number of participating pupils taking part in the event and as a result won a £1.300 computer donated to the appeal by Hewlett Packard.
