Support the RNLI

Operating a Atlantic 85 and D class inshore lifeboat, Poole is one of the busiest coastal lifeboat stations and regularly launches over 140 times each year to help those in need.

We can’t save lives without kind donations, and we need your support now more than ever. When you donate to Poole RNLI, you give courage to brave volunteers who risk their lives to save others. Your generosity also helps bring people home safe to their families – including the crew.

Every donation – no matter how big or small – can help make a difference. Every donation via this page will come directly to Poole Lifeboat Station and help ensure we are ready to launch 24/7. 

Thank you to our supporters!

The Guides and Guiders thoroughly enjoyed the visit and would be most grateful if you would pass on our thanks to the volunteers who so generously gave their time to explain the work of the RNLI, particularly at Poole. Feedback from the Guides and their parents has highlighted how much the girls enjoyed the visit. A few have been inspired to look into volunteering with the RNLI when they are old enough.

Sue Carpenter

My mother Jean Carpenter used to run the local house-to-house collections in the New Forest area. My summer holidays as a child were punctuated by two weeks of journeys around the forest delivering the plastic lifeboat collection boxes to the local volunteers, and later picking them up and diligently counting all the pennies and silver. I remember the lifeboat lapel pins, the model lifeboat stations in pubs that launched a lifeboat down a ramp when a coin was put in the slot. Everyone respected and gave to the RNLI. My mother became chair of the Fordingbridge branch and along with her fellow volunteers did so much to raise funds for this essential work to save ‘those in peril on the sea’ - she was a Wren and her brother and my father were in the Navy during the war, so the notion of saving lives at sea was in their DNA. She would be so dismayed to know we’re at a stage in history where people would be anything other than thankful that the RNLI and its volunteers exist. Bon courage!
