Cuppa for the Crew
Whether it’s a coffee morning, afternoon tea, bake sale or tea-and-chat event, Cuppa for the Crew is a simple and enjoyable way to bring people together while raising vital funds for the RNLI.
Why we love Cuppa for the Crew
From inviting friends, family and local supporters, to sharing homemade cakes and favourite brews, there are lots of ways to make your event your own. You could host it at your lifeboat station, community venue, workplace or even in your own home.
Every cup poured and every donation collected helps support RNLI lifesavers, ensuring they have the training, equipment and resources they need to save lives at sea. However you choose to take part, Cuppa for the Crew is a great opportunity to connect with your community, share stories about the RNLI and make a real difference while enjoying a well-earned cuppa.
