AN annual car wash at Hoylake lifeboat station has raised £1,115 for national RNLI campaign Mayday.
Lifeboat crew volunteers donned their distinctive yellow wellies and cleaned cars at the station on North Parade, Hoylake for £5 per car.
The crew washed 152 vehicles, one peddle car and a Wirral Coastguard Vehicle.
The event was supported by Wirral Amateur Radio Club who broadcasted from the site to promote the work of the RNLI.
Coxswain Andy Dodd said: "We want to say a massive thank you to everybody who brought their car out to be cleaned on Sunday.
"It means a lot to see such positive support from the local community.”
Money raised through Mayday events will help provide lifeboat crews with the best kit possible with it currently costing £1,598 to provide one all-weather lifeboat crew member with the kit they need when responding to a call for help.
The RNLI’s national Mayday fundraiser began on May 1 and will run for the whole month, with fundraising events taking place across the UK and Ireland.
This year the national charity hopes to raise £750,000 from this year's event.
