2014 Appeal

In 2014, The Lifeboat Fund was delighted to respond to a pressing need. The RNLI asked us to help train its lifeboat crew members for their perilous work. The object is to equip these brave people to rescue folk in distress and save lives, quickly and professionally – and then to come home safely to their loved ones.

The Fund has been asked to donate £280,800 – sufficient to train one crew volunteer at every single UK lifeboat station. The training is challenging and covers a range of disciplines – navigation in all weathers, boat repair while on a ‘shout’, dealing with a capsize, and many first aid procedures, including resuscitating someone in real danger.
