Other ways to donate

By depositing the money into your nearest HSBC bank 

Please use the bank details below:

HSBC Branch: 125 Church Road, Hove BN3 2AN

Account name: The Lifeboat Fund

Account number: 10232491

Sort code: 40-25-06

Cheques or cash can be paid over in this way. In order to identify your department please add a dept. reference on the paying in slip(e.g. HO - Angela Wilson) and email lifeboatfund@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk with details of your deposit. Please keep any receipts in case we need to contact HSBC about the donation.

By credit  or debit card

BT MyDonate is the preferred method  as this is a free donations service. It can also be used for setting up sponsorship pages. Gift Aid is added where appropriate. While all our fundraising goes to the RNLI, for all on-line giving, your credit card transaction should be made through The Fund’s website and not through the RNLI’s, since the RNLI will not be able to trace those funds to identify the total contributed by our charity – and we like to know how much our supporters have donated each year! 

You can also donate using   Virgin Money Giving and JustGiving, however both these services charge a commission on each donation made.
