Your RNLI membership will help fund everything our lifesavers need to save lives at sea including vital training, protective kit, well-equipped lifeboat stations and lifeguard units, the fastest lifeboats and education materials. These things make all the difference when lives are on the line.

The health crisis has hit our income hard. Lockdown halted the fundraising events we rely on to power our lifesaving service. Yet our lifeboat crews have never stopped being on call 24/7, ready and willing to save lives. The unwavering support provided by our community of over 150,000 members is just what they need to ensure they’re always ready, right now and in the future. Your RNLI membership will help them weather the storm.
