RNLI

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. Powered primarily by kind donations, their search and rescue service has been saving lives for nearly 200 years.

They are a charity founded upon and driven by their values of selflessness, courage, dependability and trustworthiness, with volunteers at their heart. Values shared by generations of supporters who have powered their lifesaving work through kindness and generosity for almost 200 years.

Volunteers make up 95% of their organisation - ordinary people doing extraordinary things - supported by expert staff, all working together to help communities at home and abroad save lives.

RNLI lifeboat crews and lifeguards have saved over 142,700 lives since 1824 but they are more than a rescue service.

•  They influence, supervise and educate people too.
•  Their Water Safety teams explain the risks and share safety knowledge with anyone spending time in or around the water. .
• Their in-house engineering and manufacturing teams design and build state-of-the-art lifeboats and launch and recovery vehicles and maintain existing fleets across three production sites.
• And their international teams work with like-minded organisations to help tackle drowning in communities at risk all around the world.
