Fiona Brodie, committee board member with the Kirkcaldy branch, extended the charity’s thanks to Eve and all those involved.

She said: “The Kirkcaldy Branch of the RNLI would like to say a huge thanks to Eve Ford and the management, staff and customers of the Cupcake Coffee Box”.

The funds raised will be distributed by the RNLI’s headquarters in Poole, with prospective projects including funding a new lifeboat, new crew equipment, towards RNLI lifeguards or to equip a new lifeboat station.
