RNLI – Sea them save lives.

Hi, my name is Hannah.

Thank you very much for taking an interest in my Blog! Trying to help the RNLI save lives at sea is something that I feel very strongly about.

Although many people have heard of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, they don’t realise all of the hard work and determination it takes from volunteers. At the end of my blog, I hope that you know a lot more about this charity and the work that it does. Hopefully you will want to help!

Last year, the RNLI saved, on average, 22 people every day. This works out as 8030 people each year.


One of these people could have been you!




People don’t choose to get stuck.  People get into difficulties because they are unaware of the dangerous conditions. The sea and the coast is a dangerous place. There are always accidents waiting to happen. It is an accident.

Imagine you or one of your family getting caught out by the tide and the RNLI wasn’t there to help.


If you aren’t there for them now, they won’t be there for you later.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is the only charity that has the skills and equipment to save peoples’ lives at sea. It takes hundreds of hours of volunteer’s time to set up all of the equipment and training needed to save lives, possibly your life.


Time is freely and willingly given and, unfortunately, sometimes lives are given so that you can be helped.

Why not take part in some of their fund raising events, such as sand castle building competitions, RNLI open days, raffles, purchasing of cards etc.  The events are fun for all the family and it is an experience that you will never forget.

Thank you so much again for reading my blog. Please post me a response with your thoughts. If possible, it would really help me if you were to answer a couple of these questions. If you want any other details about the Royal National Lifeboat Institution then please don’t hesitate to visit the website. rnli.org/.

Please help and sea them save lives!
  • Do you now feel as though you know more about the work that the RNLI do?
  • Do you care more about this charity?
  • Would you now be prepared to do things such as…
  1. Make a donation to the RNLI
  2. Take part in a fund raising activity
  3. Sign up to get the RNLI magazines/books
  4. Support the RNLI on eBay
  5. Pass on the knowledge that I have given to you.
If you do add a response then please put your hometown and country (if not the UK)

Once again thank you so much for reading my blog,
Hannah.

  4. Hi, Hannah.
    I am very pleased with the work that you are doing to help the RNLI, before reading your blog I thought that the RNLI was one of the services (like the police or firefighters). I did not realise that it was a charity solely based on the kindness of volunteers. Thank you for opening my eyes and good luck with the rest of your work.
