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.

The RNLI Tour of Britain
Hi folks,
Thanks for visiting our page. Rad and Nick are cycling around all the lifeboat stations in the UK in an effort to raise £25,000 for the RNLI.
You may not be aware that the RNLI is a charity that relies entirely on donations- it receives no government funding at all, yet we treat it just like any other emergency service. In addition to this, the crew are all volunteers, giving up their time and putting their lives on the line in order to help others who are in trouble at sea. Quite remarkable, I think you will agree.
We have already completed 'Stage 1' (820km from London around the Kent coast and along the south coast to Painton in Devon) and 'Stage 2' (Paignton along the south coast to Land's End, around the corner and up into South Wales- finishing in Newport).
Photos and diary updates can be found on our blog (see below) and we will also be tweeting our adventures (Rad_and_Nick).
The next stage- the coast of Wales will commence in July/August 2012.
We are very grateful for any amount of money donated and thank you for helping save lives at sea.
Rad and Nick
