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 Updates

In loving memory of Maureen Joyce Louise sewell

Thursday 16th Apr
Some causes come into your life quietly, and before you even realise it, they’ve become part of who you are. For me, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution has always been one of those causes — not just because of what they do, but because of the memories and meaning tied to it.

Growing up, I remember my Nan always supporting the RNLI. It wasn’t just something she donated to — it was something she truly believed in. I can still hear her voice now, telling me how incredible they were, how brave the crews are, and how they drop everything at a moment’s notice to head out to sea and save lives.

One memory that has always stayed with me is hearing the alarm — that unmistakable call when the lifeboat crew are needed. My Nan would say, “They’re going out to save someone.” As a child, I didn’t fully understand the scale of what that meant. But now, I do. It means people leaving their families, facing unpredictable seas, and putting themselves in danger — all to help someone they’ve never met.

That kind of selflessness is rare, and it deserves to be recognised and supported.

The RNLI is an organisation built on courage, dedication, and community. Their volunteers don’t do it for recognition — they do it because they care. Because they know that every launch could mean the difference between life and death.

Supporting this cause is my way of continuing something my Nan started. It’s a way of honouring her belief in the RNLI and everything they stand for. It’s also a way of helping ensure that when that call goes out, there will always be a crew ready to answer it.

If you’re reading this, I’d love for you to support in any way you can — whether that’s donating, sharing, or simply learning more about the incredible work they do.

Because out at sea, when someone is in trouble, it’s the RNLI who go — without hesitation, without question.

And that’s something truly worth supporting.
