RNLI unveils fundraising TT badges

Tuesday, 30 May 2017 00:00

An Island lifesaving charity has unveiled its officially-licensed TT fundraising badges for this year.

The RNLI revealed earlier this month it had been charged £250 by the government to use the TT logo on its enamel badges which raise money for lifeboats.

The subsequent public outrage led the government to change its policy and allow Manx-registered charities to use the trademark for free.

This year's TT badges are now available from any of the Island's lifeboat stations a well as Ramsey's RNLI shop.
