We are a 24 hour search & rescue service to save lives at sea
Story
I, the girl who drinks coke for breakfast and tea at bedtime, will be drinking only water for 2 weeks to raise money for the RNLI.
This is going to be a huge test of my self control and the money is going to such a great cause.
It costs around £385,000 a day to run the RNLI, all of which is generously donated by the public. This might sound like a lot, but when 22 people are rescued a day (on average), the cost is worth it!
RNLI volunteer lifeboat crews provide a 24-hour search and rescue service all around the UK and Ireland, while lifeguards keep a careful watch on the UK’s busiest beaches. RNLI lifesaving and drowning prevention depend on supporter fundraising and the generous donations that you and others give.
