Volunteering roles

The RNLI has over 40,000 volunteers across the UK and Ireland.

They come from all walks of life and get involved in countless different ways.

Our lifeboat service relies on volunteers to ensure the boats can go to sea at any time.

Our fundraisers are volunteers - a diverse and ever changing challenge to raise the money we need.

We need to raise awareness about the RNLI - our volunteers are critical to this.

Over 120 shops rely on volunteers to keep them open and sell our gifts.

Sea safety advice forms part of our prevention activities - we need volunteers to help do this.
