In 2024, funds will be raised to make our current exhibition space bigger and more permanent. Work continues on restoring the lifeboat's interior. We will be happy to accept donations by cash, card or cheque at our exhibition centre in Donaghadee, or through the link above. A positive review on Trip Advisor is also really helpful. Thanks for your support!
