The RNLI plays a vital role within the local community of South Queensferry, and the local lifeboat station covers the Firth of Forth with its B-class Atlantic lifeboat – which is one of the fastest in the RNLI fleet.

The crew members are dedicated to keeping the local community safe and they have received three RNLI medals for gallantary.

Commenting on the support that it has received, Dave Smart from the RNLI said: “We are extremely grateful for the support that we have received from Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, and we can’t thank them enough for their generous donation.
