Branch information

We have had a lifeboat service in Ilfracombe for nearly 200 years. We currently have around 100 volunteers, from boat crew to press officers, fundraisers to shop staff. We form a great family of people who are all doing their bit to help save lives at sea.

Fundraising is, of course, a key part of what we do. Whether we are joining in with other community events, running our own events, putting collecting boxes in pubs, or holding collections in Tesco, we always have something going on.

Events planned (so far) for 2025:

19 April
The Easter Eggstravanza

May
Beach yoga, Zumba and Tai Chi

22 August
Sea Ilfracombe

November
Christmas Fayre

December
Christmas Carol service

With lots more to come!

Just one good deed can make all the difference. Would you like to do something truly worthwhile with your free time for the RNLI? We are looking for support with our local events. We would love to hear from you and welcome you onboard.

Whether you have a few hours to spare to help out at a particular event, or a few hours a month to attend our meetings and help plan our forthcoming activities, we would love to hear from you. Please email us at [email protected]
