Give money

Of the countless ways you can make a difference and give money to charity, we're honoured and so very grateful you've chosen to save lives at sea. Especially during one of the toughest times we have all ever faced - a time when we need each other the most.

The health crisis has hit our charity hard, yet our lifeboat volunteers are busier than ever. The drop in our income is expected to be millions - money that would usually help give lifeboat crews everything they need. And now there's the extra cost of essential PPE like face masks and gloves. 

This Christmas, our volunteer lifeboat crews will be on call 24/7, ready and willing to save lives. Just as they have been throughout the pandemic. They will launch around 100 times, leaving their own loved ones at a moment’s notice to rescue someone else’s. You’re the lifesaver they need to bring each other - and those they rescue - home safe.

See below the many different ways you can give money to the RNLI, whether you're looking to donate money to charity or give in other ways. Your kind support will help to keep our lifeboat volunteers trained and equipped to brave the unexpected - and come home safe - which is the best Christmas present they, and their families, could receive.
