Chipembere Rhino Foundation (CRF) recently received an amazing donation of £1,300 (R25,195.30), raised by renowned artist, marine conservationist and environmental educator, Michael Carnegie. During a charity night held at the Doghouse, St Merryn, the funds were raised through a raffle of his painting “Porthcothan 17:50”; the sale of prints; as well as donations; with the help from fellow RNLI lifeguards, Patagonia Manchester and local pub employees, amongst others.
