When Vera Robinson started raising funds for Redcar lifeboats, they were still powered by oars and launched by horses. And as the former teacher turned 100 yesterday, she said she had no plans to stop her efforts. Vera is one of the RNLI’s longest-serving fundraisers and her birthday was marked with a special ceremony hosted by the Mayor of Redcar and Cleveland. Speaking at the event, Vera said: Although I’ve given up a lot of activities, I won’t give up the Remembrance and lifeboat work. Today will make no difference to my activities. I’m not just going to sit at home because I’m 100. I like to be out and meeting people. I’m very fond of fresh air. I like to get out and about. I do my own shopping. Vera has been raising funds for the Redcar RNLI lifeboat station since the age of 16. Vera Robinson MBE when she was in the girl guides in the 1930s (b/w photo)
