You give us hope
The past year has been tough in so many ways but, like you, we made sacrifices and we made it through.
Although we’re still struggling through the pandemic, there’s promise of a better spring. The sky is a little lighter, the grass a little greener. With longer days on the way, more people will be drawn to the water. Hope of rescue is what they’ll need should they find themselves in trouble. Can we count on you to make sure we’re there for them?
We’re in the business of hope. I see it in the eyes of two sailors rescued. In the tears of relief shed by frantic parents.
Training courses cancelled
Lifeboat maintenance delayed
People still need help
Kindness saves lives
You could press play on paused projects
When coronavirus struck, it impacted our fundraising – and we’re still feeling the effects. We had to cut back. Training courses were cancelled. Planned lifeboat maintenance was delayed. But still the calls for help kept coming. Wear and tear on kit and equipment carried on. Will you keep us ready, for when we’re needed most?
Make a donation to bring hope in the darkest storms.
Every person saved can now look forward with hope for a life full of adventures. A life that could have been cut short had we not been there.
Your donation will save lives in so many ways. In 2019, for every £1/€1 spent, 49p/49c was on lifeboats, property and equipment; 32p/32c on running the lifeboat service; 11p/11c on lifeguard rescue; 6p/6c on safety and education; and 2p/2c on international drowning prevention.
