The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea, providing 24-hour search and rescue around the UK and Ireland. Volunteers make up 95% of the organisation. They come from all walks of life, with only 1 in 10 having maritime experience. Their crews save lives regardless of what circumstances have led people to find themselves in trouble. As a charity, the RNLI depends on donations so it can go on saving lives. Thank you.
