Since the RNLI was founded in 1824, its lifeboats have saved more than 137,000 lives. In 2007 RNLI lifeboats rescued 7,834 people - an average of 21 people per day. RNLI Beach Lifeguards assisted 9,883 people.
We are committed to helping young people stay safe. All our young people, whether they live inland or near the coast, need to learn how to stay safe by the sea. They may all find themselves in a difficult situation, whether they visit the beach every week or once a year. Four young people are rescued by the RNLI every day.
Our comprehensive education programme focuses on the RNLI’s lifesaving work as a charity and on sea and beach safety. All our services and products have been carefully planned with learning and teaching needs in mind. They are free to all organisations working with young people between the ages of 4 and 18.
