Will you give what you can in this crisis?

With the coast getting busier, new safety concerns and income falling, this is a challenging summer. Your kindness will save lives.

'In tough times, we pull together'

‘As people are allowed to move further from home, and in larger groups, the coast is getting busier,’ says Mudeford Lifeboat Volunteer Simon Barnett. ‘We are constantly dealing with new challenges. It’s hard. But we pull together. And when someone is in danger in the water, cold and alone and afraid, we answer.’

RNLI lifesavers like Simon need your help. The health crisis has hit our income hard. The funds we count on to power our lifesaving service have gone down. We need you to stand with us in these uncertain times, so we can continue to keep everyone safe.
