The original Port Isaac Lifeboat Station was established in 1869 but was closed in 1933. The Lifeboat Station was reopened in 1967 and has been housed in the old garage to of the Slipway Hotel since 1994.

The facilities are very cramped and are not suitable to running a modern lifeboat service.

This Appeal has been launched to fund the £900,000 cost of renovating the existing lifeboat station which will house the stations D-Class lifeboat and provide modern facilities, which include dedicated changing facilities, workshop, while the nearby Cottage will be converted to provide training, and crew welfare facilities along with a RNLI Shop.

You can support the appeal in many different ways by making a donation to this JustGiving page, by setting up your own fundraising event or challenge with a JustGiving Fundraising page linked to the appeal, or by volunteering your time to help with the appeal by e-mailing Jason Luff at jason_luff@rnli.org.uk

With your help we can provide our volunteer crews and their support teams with the facilities that they need to continue their work of saving lives along the North Cornwall Coastline.
