Details on this page refer to the RNLI in general

More than 4,800 lifeboat crew members around the UK and RoI drop everything when their pagers go off, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Today, only 1 in 10 crew members has a professional maritime occupation. Men and women of all ages and from all walks of life crew the RNLI lifeboats around our coasts and waterways.
