There are countless good charities to support, all with great causes. If you've been looking at how to support charities, we feel privileged and extremely thankful that you have chosen to save lives at sea.
Given the testing times we’re in, it’s no surprise that the staycation has never been more popular. But the sheer number of beachgoers means that our lifesavers are stretched like never before.
When our crews and lifeguards are racing from one rescue to the next they rely even more on their world-class training and lifesaving kit – the things that people like you help provide. This summer, will you be the backup they need?
