We’re sorry, there’s no more space for names of loved ones on the side of the Whitby lifeboat. Do check back in the coming months to see when and where we’ll be launching the next Launch a Memory lifeboat.

Thank you for choosing to donate in memory of someone you love and miss. However you decide to remember them with the RNLI, you can be sure that together, you and your loved one will save lives at sea for years to come.
When you donate in memory of a loved one, they become a lifesaver - and so do you. Take a look below at the different ways you can make a donation or how you can collect donations in memory of a loved one. We’re here to help you make a lasting and fitting tribute - to help you remember them in the most meaningful way.
Launch a Memory
Celebrate and remember the life of someone you miss with our unique tribute. Your loved one’s name will be added to the numbers and letters of a new all-weather lifeboat. So, they’ll be there alongside the lifeboat crew, every time the call for help comes.
