How to support us

The RNLI is an independent charity, and does not receive any funding from the UK government. Our volunteer lifeboat crews and our lifeguards can’t save lives at sea without your support.

Lifeboats need to be designed, built, fuelled and maintained, and our crews trained and equipped. Lifeguards also need training and equipment. Can you help?
