Run completely by volunteers and funded by the public’s generous donations, the charity is an important part of the East Neuk community.
Many individuals, groups and businesses have played their part in helping to raise money for the lifeboat, and the RNLI’s volunteers have been, and continue to be, busy driving the fundraising.
The annual lifeboat gala was always a popular event for the whole community, and the team have been a part of other galas, fetes and events around the local area.
Here are just a few photographs from our archives – do you recognise anyone in them?
