The Cullercoats Community Centre
"Yes, we use it for fundraising"
Yes, we use it for fundraising. I think, well, I know, Sybil’s got it booked for an Easter Fair, and last year Harbour Day was rained off and the lifeboat lads just picked everything up en masse and carried it up here, set everything up in here in the Community Centre, in the big hall. And instead of it being a washed out loss, they raised over £6000, so it’s, it does work.
