A CHOIR concert has resulted in more than £400 for the Sandown and Shanklin Independent Lifeboat station.

The Newchurch Male Voice Choir paired up with the Island's Cantobelle Harmony Singers and the Cor Meibion Llanellie earlier this month and hosted a very successful concert at St Johns Church.

Singers from the Newchurch choir joined the crew at the lifeboat house earlier this week to present the total raised — £416 — to the station.

Bob Cooper, from the choir, said: "We are proud to present the proceeds of a very successful concert with the other choirs.

"We know this money will go towards the fantastic service the volunteers give to seafarers and the public around the Island."

Mark Birch, operations manager at the lifeboat, said: "We are thrilled to receive this donation. The choir's continued support for our lifesaving work is very humbling and it's great they chose to sing out for our volunteers and our charity.

"We cannot thank them enough."
