How your support helped the RNLI in 2024

437 Lives saved

25,327 People aided by lifeboat crews and lifeguards

9,141 Lifeboat launches

I’m taking on the Mayday Mile Challenge to support RNLI volunteers

This May, I’m completing a mile-a-day challenge to help RNLI crews save lives at sea.

During summertime, more people flock to beaches and coastal towns to make the most of everything they have to offer – from glorious sunshine to adventurous watersports. And as temperatures rise, so do calls from people in trouble in the water.

By answering this Mayday call and giving a gift today, you can make a real, lifesaving difference. Your kindness will help give volunteers everything they need to launch to the rescue, and make sure they’re ready to face their busiest season.

Will you sponsor my RNLI Mayday Mile Challenge and support the courageous crews?

My Yellow Welly Walk

Friday 6th Mar
Thanks to all of my friends who have donated 👏🏻. I have passed my original target, so have doubled it to £300. 
Many will have seen ‘Saving Lives at  Sea’, so you’ve seen the PPE, each crew member needs. The money I raise will keep a crew member, like me, warm, safe, seen and floating whilst out training or on a shout. 
Will you help me reach my next target, thanks 🛟🧡💙

My Yellow Welly Walk..

Monday 2nd Mar
I’m trainee ALB and Shore crew at Great Yarmouth & Gorlston Lifeboat, here in Norfolk. I also help out with the shop, fund raising and heritage for our Station.
During May I’m going to step out in my yellow wellies and raise some funds and awareness of our station and what we do as one big crew.
