When the temperature rises, so does the pressure
After the events of the last year and a half, it’s no surprise that many more of us are holidaying at home. And with all the extra beachgoers the days can feel longer in more ways than one for our lifesavers. At times like these they rely even more on their kit and training – the things that people like you help provide. This summer, you could be the backup they need.
I've been a crew member for almost 30 years, and this is shaping up to be our busiest yet
BEACHGOERS SURGING
WATERSPORTS INCREASING
LIFESAVERS UNDER PRESSURE
KINDNESS SAVES LIVES
Your gift could make you a lifesaver too
It’s not only beachgoers who can find themselves in trouble. We’re rescuing more walkers and runners too. People who never intend to get wet, but perhaps lose their footing or get cut off by the tide. It can happen to anyone. And when someone does need help, they rely not only on us, but on lifesavers like you, who can help ensure that we’re prepped and ready to save lives.
Summer is always busy, but this summer is busy beyond belief
Your donation will save lives in so many ways. In 2020, for every £1/€1 spent on charitable activities, 56p/56c was on lifeboats, property and equipment; 27p/27c on running the lifeboat service; 11p/11c on lifeguard rescue; 4p/4c on safety, education and awareness; and 2p/2c on international drowning prevention.
