Around 20 people drown in the Thames every year. Fast and powerful currents, huge tides, cold temperatures, hidden objects and debris make it one of the most dangerous stretches of water in the UK. Every second counts when it comes to saving lives, which is why Tower Lifeboat Station has the fastest lifeboats and a 90-second launch time.

Since opening in 2002, Tower Lifeboat Station has launched its lifeboats over 11,000 times and saved over 500 lives. It is consistently the RNLI’s busiest lifeboat station, operating 24/7 every day of the year and launching 758 times in 2024.

Your donation will help our crews at Tower lifeboat Station to continue their lifesaving work on the Thames.
