RNLI - 200 Years Old Today

For 200 years, RNLI volunteers have counted on kindness

Today, they’re still braving wild waters to save people in need

RNLI lifeboat crews protect hundreds of communities around the UK and Ireland through our 24-hour search and rescue service. To do so, they rely on the safest, most reliable lifeboats and modern stations to launch from.

Saving lives at sea requires lifeboats that can battle the elements, lifeboat stations from which to launch from, and your support.  Every lifeboat launch, and every life saved, is only possible thanks to the generosity of people like you.

24 hours a day, 7 days a week, RNLI lifeboat crews are ready to answer the call to rescue.
