Charity
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is the charity that saves lives at sea. The RNLI’s volunteer lifeboat crews rescue an average of 22 people every day around the coasts and waterways of Britain and Ireland. From 235 lifeboat stations, they are well trained and equipped to put to sea in the most fearsome conditions when the call comes. RNLI lifeguards patrol more than 140 beaches in England and Wales. As well as rescuing people from the water, they are also on hand for first aid and safety advice, making sure everyone can make the most of their day at the beach. Are you passionate about the water? Do you want to be part of a lifesaving team? Whatever the reason for your interest in our work, we’d love to have you onboard. The RNLI is an independent charity and receives no government funding. We rely on public support.

Running 2 marathons in 6 months for the RNLI
Members of the AnnanTech team – brother and sister, Brett and Amanda Annandale completed the Chicago marathon in October 2011, and are now preparing for the London Marathon on 22nd April 2012. They are running for the Royal National Lifeboats Institution (RNLI) – the charity that saves lives at sea and on the Thames!
The Thames and Cowes Lifeboat station appeal
The Thames River is one of the busiest rivers in the world. There were over 500 incidents on the river in 2011 alone. Your donation will be going towards saving lives on the Thames in a year when London will be particularly busy with the Queen’s Jubilee and the Olympic Games.
The RNLI is also currently raising funds, to build a new lifeboat station at Cowes, on the Isle of Wight. The lifeboats are currently based in a temporary building, in a congested marina. The congestion causes delays and can cost lives when every minute counts in a sea rescue. The funds raised will go towards the building of the new lifeboat station.
Thank you for supporting the RNLI! Your generosity is going towards a great cause.
