As a rower, I understand how important it is to respect the water and the risks it creates.  Living by the sea means that I also hugely appreciate the guardianship of our local beach lifeguards and the local lifeboat crews who are always on-call for emergencies.  Very soon, I'll be able to spend less time on my rowing machine and enjoy rowing on real water again - I want to do something practical to support our lifesavers before I go back out there.

As a charity, the RNLI depends on our donations so it can go on saving lives and keeping us and our loved ones safe. RNLI lifesavers are our lifeline. They’re the lifeboat crews who provide 24-hour search and rescue right around the UK and Ireland. The lifeguards keeping watch on 240 of the busiest beaches in the UK and Channel Islands. And the RNLI safety teams and educators working tirelessly to stop people getting into trouble in the first place.Thank you.
