Pop the kettle on to help save lives at sea
How you host your Cuppa for the Crew is up to you. Will you choose an afternoon tea, a brew and biccies with your workmates or a get together in a local café?
There are lots of ways to raise funds. You could ask your guests to donate to your fundraising page before the event, or you could sell homemade treats for cash donations. You could even do a quiz, a tea-tasting contest or a garden game to boost funds.
Your Cuppa for the Crew will help RNLI volunteers save lives
Every day, somewhere around the coasts of the UK and Ireland, RNLI crews are kitting up to answer desperate calls for help. But they can't answer those calls without your support.
Your Cuppa for the Crew will make sure RNLI volunteers are always ready to race to the rescue, so they can get to people in trouble on the water as quickly as possible – and save more lives.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Cuppa for the Crew work?
There are many ways you can host your Cuppa for the Crew. You could gather your friends and family for tea and homemade cakes at home, encourage your colleagues to bring in biccies for a fundraising tea break, or host a fancy afternoon tea in the garden.
As well as enjoying a brew, why not put on an activity to encourage more people to join in the fun? If you're hosting outside, dig out the garden games − perhaps boules or croquet. Or, if you're indoors, host a quiz or try a guess-the-blend tea tasting − matcha, anyone?
When you register, a fundraising page will automatically be created, which you can share with your friends and family. You’ll also be able to download your free fundraising guide, which has more inspiration.
Where does Cuppa for the Crew take place?
You decide when and where you’d like to hold your Cuppa for the Crew. Perhaps you’d like to bring out the best china for afternoon tea at home, have a brew and biccies in the office, enjoy tea and cake in the garden, or meet at a local café for tea and treats.
How do I pay in my fundraising?
All donations made to your fundraising page will be automatically transferred to the RNLI, so you don’t need to do anything. If you receive any cash donations, you can bank them yourself and transfer the amount to your online fundraising page. Every contribution makes a real, lifesaving difference.
Is there an age limit to take part?
You must be aged 18 or older to register for Cuppa for the Crew and have a fundraising page. Under 18s are welcome to take part but they must be registered by someone 18 or over.
