About the RNLI in Scotland

RNLI lifeboats in Scotland protect hundreds of communities with a 24-hour search and rescue service. Our volunteer crews rely on the safest, most reliable lifeboats and modern stations to launch from.

Scotland's unrivalled coasts and waters are valued by local communities and visitors alike, with millions travelling to enjoy them, and work on them each year. But the water remains an unpredictable environment that can catch people out. People will always need our help and we will always be there to answer that call.

Keeping a modern fleet of lifeboats maintained, fuelled and ever ready to go to the rescue from all 46 of the lifeboat stations in Scotland is expensive and we rely entirely on voluntary donations to ensure this service is maintained.

It costs an average of £155k to run a lifeboat station in Scotland but with the implications of Covid-19, we haven't been able to fundraise as normal to help keep our lifeboats afloat. Can you help?
