RNLI- Sea the future in their eyes; wave goodbye to deaths at sea

Hello, my name is Grace and welcome to my blog about the RNLI otherwise known as the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and the amazing work they do to make the sea a more enjoyable place. Firstly, thank you for taking an interest in my citizenship blog. I hope that you will gain some new knowledge from it. At the end of my blog my aim is that you will know a bit more about the RNLI and be able to raise awareness to others that are not so much informed.

The RNLI is already a very successful and functional voluntary organisation. The RNLI are great at raising awareness of their causes and raise their publicity factor. As a result of their campaigns I am almost certain that the majority of the public will have heard of the RNLI in anyway, however, think, do you really know the facts and what they risk to save peoples that are in critical danger? If you said no to these questions than please read my blog as I am sure that this will inform you more. The RNLI is a voluntary organisation – this means that they completely rely your donations to have such a courageous aim and to carry on making the U.K’s waters a safer, more enjoyable place. The RNLI have been saving thousands lives at sea since 1824! However the RNLI has expanded their charity to many other rescue services. The RNLI have a seasonal lifeboat search and rescue service which covers the Great British, Irish, the Channel Islands and the Isles of Mans coasts. They also provide flood rescue and lifeguards! They help whoever is in need of their help, despite their religion, age, gender etc or type of transport they are using. Many people also are unaware that the RNLI is a 24/7 rescue service so they are there whatever the weather, season or time of day. The RNLI
The RNLI’s vision is clear- make the sea a safer and more enjoyable place!

You and the general public must do more to raise the awareness about the dangers at sea and the amazing services the RNLI give free of charge! Help the RNLI to do their job. Even simply changing attitudes of someone that may be against the RNLI. Or just by raising awareness by telling one person about the RNLI could potentially save someone’s life! In the last two years the RNLI’s work has dramatically increased; because so many people are investing in leisure boat and getting into trouble at sea. Even by giving just £1 given to the RNLI: 81p is spent on providing a rescue service, 3p is spent on preventative safety programmes, and 16p is spent on generating voluntary income! Every penny counts!
