You can never state just how crucial the RNLI are to our Island, but to put this crucial charities importance into perspective, since 1824 the lifeboat crews and lifeguards of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution have saved over 139000 lives at sea.
When you consider that the operation is totally funded by charitable donations, you can be proud of their service and acheivements.

Now you can also show your support AND treat yourself to some lovely new additions to your kitchen.
The new range has a variety of different stripes to mix and match, and we think it brings a bit of nautical fun to the kitchen and beyond. It is all really good quality too – the tea towel is made in Lincolnshire of premium quality 100% cotton.
Printed with smart stripes and nautical messages, finished with a woven badge.
As with all RNLI products, 100% of the profits made go straight back to the charity, something which I think is really important for consumers, especially those looking to give something back.
A collection of perfect double points gifts? Give to someone you love and to the RNLI at the same time.
