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 Arklow 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 Arklow we have had a lifeboat station established since 1826. Based at South Quay, the station currently operates an all-weather Trent Class lifeboat, Ger Tigchelaar which has been on station since 1997.

Thank you for any donations to Arklow fundraising branch.
