Fundraisers’ stories

Get inspired by some of our fundraisers, who’ve all completed brilliant activities to support the RNLI.

From stand-up paddlers to soapbox racers, meet the fundraisers who did something a little different to send their totals soaring.

They explain what the RNLI means to them, how they came up with their ideas and how everything went once they’d put their plans into action.

Got your own fundraising idea? That’s great! Tell us what you’ve got planned and we’ll make sure you get all the support you need.
