Charities
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.
We exist to help improve the lives of people affected by cancer, both those living with cancer and also their families and carers. Our primary focus is to reach and improve the lives of everyone living with cancer.

Apologies for the delay in update, every tourist and their granny has a laptop so the bandwidth has narrowed and the signal's poor.
We had a super day in Weston, where we discovered ELVIS is alive and well, working in a donkey sanctuary! and we have to thank the owner and staff at Raddy's cafe for a wonderful lunch and to all the generous folk we met. Thanks also to the R.N.L.I at Weston who very kindly let us set up the trucks down on the promenade. After travelling on down we REACHED OUR DESTINATION at 3.30pm Tuesday 2nd August 2011.
