Save lives

How your money helps

Every donation helps the RNLI work towards our goal of saving every one. Our lifesaving volunteers give their time for free, but they need training, well-maintained equipment, lifeboats and shore facilities. Your support helps our brave volunteers save lives – and it brings them safely home to their families too.
