The Turkey/Syria Earthquake Appeal prompted Bangor Marina on Belfast Lough in Northern Ireland to engage in a fund-raising effort by organising a raffle. The ticket holders proved very generous, and Harbour Master Kevin Baird was delighted with the response. "We're blown away by the generosity of our amazing Bangor community. Together, our raffle raised an incredible £1,450 for the Appeal. It's heart-warming to see how we come together to support those in need during times of crisis".

Kevin said he wished to thank everyone who participated in organising, donating, and participating in this raffle and congratulated all winners. He continued, "The Marina team are proud to be a part of such a wonderful community".

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

If everyone chipped in, we can enhance our coverage and our future would be more secure. You can help us through a small donation. Thank you.
