The RNLI welcomes every volunteer. We have volunteering opportunities that can be tailored to each person, and we offer our volunteers all the support they need.

Without our volunteers the RNLI simply would not be able to operate the way it does today. Every volunteer is important to us – all 40,000 of you!
