Your kind gift will power RNLI lifesavers to the rescue

24 hours a day, every day, RNLI lifesavers are ready to launch to the rescue.

Your support today will help save lives at sea.

Your support launches lifeboats

RNLI volunteer lifeboat crews have to be ready to answer the call to rescue 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When the pager goes off, they know that someone is in desperate need of rescue.

A donation from you provides lifeboat crews with the kit, training and craft they need to save lives at sea.

Your support protects beaches

Every summer, RNLI lifeguards protect beachgoers across the UK and Ireland. From safety advice and casualty care to saving those in danger of drowning, they have to be ready to rescue at all times during the busiest season of lifesaving.

A donation from you will help lifeguards save lives at the coast each summer.

Your support keeps people safe

From the classroom to busy seafronts, RNLI water safety experts share thousands of safety messages each year, helping educate people young and old on how to enjoy the water safely. Prevention is the best cure.

A donation from you will help prevent incidents from happening.

Your support prevents drowning

Across the world, a person drowns every two minutes. The vast majority of these deaths are preventable. That’s why the RNLI is working with partners and communities across the globe to help share our water expertise.

A donation from you will help save those most at risk of drowning.
