Local Filey Gallery, the RNLI and I combine to raise funds for Filey Lifeboat.

I’ve teamed up with the RNLI and Gavin & Lisa Wilson of Neil’s Gallery and Framing on John Street, Filey to raise funds for Filey Lifeboat by selling one of fishing boat paintings.

I’m an RNLI supporter and last year I donated a painting which was sold through Neil’s Gallery with all the proceeds going to the local RNLI station. Filey is a long standing holiday destination for generations of our family and I’ve always been inspired by the local fishing and coble boats.

Lisa and Gavin, who recently took over Neil’s Gallery, have agreed to display and sell a new painting ‘Rusty Coble’ with a minimum price of £300. Lisa said “Once again we are delighted to provide free space in the Gallery and I’m sure we can sell the painting for this very worthwhile cause as well as giving someone the opportunity to own a great contemporary piece of artwork.”

“While I am the full time Filey Lifeboat Station Coxswain and Mechanic, it is important to remind people that our crew, like those around the country, are all volunteers on call 24/7 throughout the year.” says Neil Cammish “We rely on donations to provide our vital rescue service so the sale of the painting will be a great help.”

The painting is being sold through a closed bid auction that closes at 17.00 on the 30th September 2019. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Filey Lifeboat. Bidding forms are available by visiting Neil’s Galley in Filey or you can email: gavin@neilsgalleyandframing.co.uk
