One Courageous Community

Every day of every year, people of all ages and backgrounds get into danger in the water. It’s a problem that we’re here to tackle. We’re here to explain the risks, share safety knowledge and rescue people whose lives are in danger. We’re here to prevent tragedies – and with your support we always will be.

Rescue: With courage, we save life in the toughest conditions
RNLI rescue teams saved 442 people’s lives last year. Our frontline service of lifeboat crews, lifeguards and flood rescue teams remains at the heart of our charity. And as long as people need our help on the water, this will never change.

Prevention: With courage, we will prevent more tragedies
British and Irish waters are dangerously unpredictable – more than 200 people still die every year in accidents on or near the sea. Worldwide, drowning is an epidemic that kills around 360,000 people annually. In 2015, we went further than ever to change this story.
