Portakabin has generously donated two modular buildings to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) Burnham-on-Sea station, providing permanent additional changing rooms for the station’s crew.
The buildings, which were installed in October, will offer vital space to the volunteer team who respond to emergencies and save lives at sea.
Earlier in May, the RNLI lifeboat station in Burnham-on-Sea, contacted Portakabin at their Highbridge Hire Centre, to discuss the possibility of purchasing or renting a portable unit, to overcome a lack of local storage and personnel space.
After discussions with the RNLI, Portakabin was delighted to donate two modular units, offering the RNLI a long-term solution to improving crew readiness and supporting their life-saving work.
Vickie McDiarmid, Hire Coordinator at Portakabin said: ‘We are delighted to have been able to help and support such a worthy local charity, which provides an invaluable service supporting both locals and holidaymakers visiting our beautiful seaside town’.
On 22 October, two Portakabin buildings, were delivered by KRG Hauliers of Bridgwater at no charge to the RNLI, and immediately installed into place.
Dave Parsons, RNLI Boat House Manager, Burnham on Sea said: ‘Thank you to Portakabin for the wonderful donation of two fantastic buildings. Our shore crew will benefit from the new changing facilities by being able to dry their kit fully until it is needed again! Up until now the crew have had to use the Boat House to change and store their kit so having a separate space for this will make such a difference’.
