James Bond star Daniel Craig takes part in eBay fundraising for RNLI

James Bond actor Daniel Craig has demonstrated his ongoing support of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) with a new fundraising effort.

Craig, who is a long-time supporter of the RNLI, swapped the 007 tuxedo to wear an RNLI t-shirt, which was later put up for auction on RNLI’s eBay page. It went on to raise a total of £770.

The revered Hollywood actor has previously supported RNLI’s station campaign at Hoylake, close to where he grew up, and went afloat with the crew at Ramsgate.

In a statement, Craig noted, “I am honoured and immensely proud to support the RNLI.”

The proceeds from the auction will help to meet the growing demand on the RNLI to continue saving lives at sea.

Jayne George, RNLI’s fundraising director, said, “We are really grateful to have Daniel’s continued support, the money from the auction will make a huge difference.”
