Calling for All Hands on Deck to help save lives

In 2024, the RNLI is commemorating 200 years of lifesaving service. We’re joining in with the celebrations and helping them continue to save lives by raising vital funds.

RNLI volunteers drop everything to answer desperate calls for help, launching to the rescue at any time, day or night. Together, we’re raising money to help give them the training and kit they need to continue saving lives.

We’re calling for All Hands on Deck. Will you join us?

Keep Calm and Carry On!

Wednesday 9th Oct
Thanks to all those who kindly contributed to this fund-raising effort and of course to those hearty souls who joined the 40-strong team of singers - especially John Thurston for recording the event for us, the Motor Show team for giving us the space to do this and the Dockyard Dogs for rowing along in support.  Check out the Youtube video on the link below.  Bet you never thought shanties could sound so pretty!  It was such a success I've decided to keep the fund open till the end of the year, while the RNLI continues to celebrate this awesome anniversary!  xx
