The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea, providing a lifeboat service, lifeguards and safety education. Like generations of selfless lifesavers before them, today’s volunteer crew members are ready to rescue around the clock, all inspired by passion, talent and kindness. The charity’s founder, Sir William Hillary, vowed that ‘with courage, nothing is impossible’. His vision of forming a rescue service funded by voluntary donations became a reality in 1824, and, 200 years on, the charity has saved countless lives. Everyone who gives their time or support to the RNLI is a lifesaver.
