Cameron Critchfield from Solent Rescue stated:

“CFK have donated in excess of £5,000 to our small lifeboat charity, we really appreciate the time and effort that CFK has invested in us.  Going forward, we hope to further enhance our working relationship as without their support, our crew members would not be able to so effectively concentrate on the primary goal of the unit”.


Solent Rescue crew members give up their time all year round to ensure that they are able to put a vessel at the disposal of Her Majesty’s Coastguard when on active service.

"Looking after the busiest recreational water way in the world is by no means an easy task, these people deserve all the help we can give them"

said Mrs Mcmenamin from C.F.K Promotions.
