Funded by amazing supporters and powered by dedicated volunteers, the RNLI has been launching to the rescue and saving lives at sea around the coast of the UK and Ireland since 1824. In that time, our lifeboat crews and lifeguards have saved more than 144,000 lives.
Working together with partners and communities, we aim to educate, influence, supervise and rescue those at risk from drowning.
