The team at Barrow Lifeboat has been handed a £600 cheque from the Boat Section of Furness Fishing Association (FFA).

The RNLI is a charity that saves lives at sea and relies entirely on donations to fund its work.

Each year, the FFA Boat Section holds a fund-raising event in support of Barrow RNLI (The Royal National Lifeboat Institution).

Prizes for the competition were donated by local businesses with a 'weigh-in' held at Walney Marine Club.
