Who we are
Andy Thomas
'Had we not been there, there's no doubt that we would have seen people drown. There was a lot of panic in the water, and people were calling for help as they were being swept out.'

RNLI courage
Volunteer crew members readily exchange leisure, comfort and sleep for cold, wet and fatigue. Their lifesaving work is essential, often difficult and sometimes dangerous.
Recruitment
The RNLI is always looking for staff and volunteers at its various offices, stations and beaches around the UK and Republic of Ireland.
RNLI people
People from all walks of life help the RNLI to save lives at sea. Thousands of volunteers and staff give their time, skill and commitment.
