Last year, our volunteer crews around the UK and Ireland launched 8,964 times, rescuing 9,412 people. These rescues are only possible because of the donations made to the charity by generous supporters like you.
This year, our Mayday campaign is hoping to raise £700,000 to fund the crucial kit our volunteers rely on, like lifejackets, helmets and our iconic yellow wellies. To get involved and fundraise to lifesave visit rnli.info/d7phB4.
