Freelance journalist Moira Kerr has donated £300 of her prize money to Oban RNLI, having scooped the title of ‘Diageo Journalist
of the Year’ in the annual Highlands and Islands Media Awards. Moira’s donation could cover the cost of seven pairs of specialist RNLI wellies for the lifeboat crew, keeping their feet warm, dry, protected and slip-free on long, wet shouts. Says Moira: ‘My donation will help with the excellent work of the volunteer crew, who are on call 24/7, whatever the weather, and ready to save lives at sea.’
