Our RNLI lifeboats in Ireland protect hundreds
of communities through our 24-hour search and rescue service. They rely on the safest, most reliable lifeboats and modern stations to launch from.

Irelands unrivalled coasts and inland waters are valued by local communities and visitors alike. But the water remains an unpredictable environment that can catch people out. People will always need our help and we will always be there to answer that call.

Keeping our Galway boat maintained, fuelled and ever ready to go to the rescue is expensive and we rely entirely on voluntary donations to ensure this service is maintained. Add to that crew training and kit, and the euros start to add up. During the pandemic we have still been offering a lifesaving service and are continuing to raise vital funds,

In Galway we have had a lifeboat station since 1995 at the mouth of the River Corrib with a B Class Atlantic 85 lifeboat. We haven’t been able to take part in our traditional fundraising this year and rely on donations from the public to continue saving lives. Your donation will help support the running of Galway Lifeboat station. Thank you for your generous donation.
