RNLI Christchurch and Bournemouth Branch

Visits to our beautiful beaches of Poole Bay are higher than ever. The Christchurch and Bournemouth Branch raises funds for the training and equipment of the RNLI lifeguards who respond to the thousands of incidents that happen every year on these beaches. 

Our lifeguards keep beachgoers safe by spotting the dangers and preventing accidents before they happen, as well as responding instantly if they occur. That's why providing our lifeguard crews with first-class training and equipment is vital.  RNLI lifeguards are qualified in lifesaving and casualty care, and are highly trained and fit. They maintain a level of fitness, which allows them to swim 200m in under 3½ minutes, and run 200m on sand in under 40 seconds.
