THE RNLI shop in Mallaig is in desperate need of new volunteers to avoid closure.
The lifeboat station in Mallaig was established in 1951 and the shop, which has been open since 1998, is one of 160 RNLI shops across the UK and Ireland, raising money for the charity that saves lives at sea. The popular shop opens from April to September.
It is planned to re-open this month, but volunteers are needed to keep the shop open throughout the summer, or it is at risk of closure.
