Members of a motorcycle club have donated £700 to two worthy causes.

The North Cumbrian chapter of the Devil’s Disciple Motorcycle Club (MC), which regularly organises motorcycle rallies, handed over £500 to the Silloth RNLI and £200 to the Silloth motorcycle museum.

The club is known for its commitment to supporting local charities.

A spokesperson from the club explained that their fundraising efforts are a central part of their events: “Every year, we put on a couple of motorcycle rallies, one in the summer in Silloth and another during winter in St Bees."

They said that the summer event welcomed roughly 350 people.

As a club, the Devil’s Disciple MC values its strong community ties, as the spokesperson explained: “We like to give a portion of the money we raise to local charities, and we've been giving to the lifeboat charity for years.

"They come to the rally themselves and shake their buckets as well."

They added that the RNLI is a charity close to the heart of many in the area, and that while they raise money during the rallies, it's not for profit - any money above breaking even gets donated to good causes.

The Silloth RNLI plays a vital role in ensuring the safety of those at sea, relying heavily on public donations, and the £500 donation from the club will support the volunteer-run organisation in its ongoing work.

The donation comes at a time when the RNLI is marking its 200th anniversary in the Northwest of England.

As part of the celebrations, the charity is transporting a specially designed time capsule across various lifeboat stations in the region.

The ‘Coast to Cobbles’ time capsule relay, which has travelled down the northwest coast from Silloth, will arrive at Salford Quays on October 10.

The capsule will be sealed for 50 years and put on display at Lytham St Annes Lifeboat Museum.

Sophie Wood, RNLI community manager, spoke previously on the charity's many fundraisers: “For 200 years, we’ve relied on the generosity of everyday people – from seafaring crew to fundraisers and supporters, they’re all lifesavers and make the RNLI in the Northwest what it is."

Alongside its support for the RNLI, the Devil’s Disciple MC also donated £200 to the Silloth Motorcycle Museum.

The museum, which is run by a local enthusiast, depends largely on visitor donations.

The museum showcases motorcycling history and provides a glimpse into the passion of the local biking community.
