In 2024 the RNLI celebrates its 200 year anniversary during which time the charity volunteers have saved countless lives in the water. To do my bit I've set myself the challenge of swimming 200 miles to help raise awareness and hopefully a little bit of money.

The last few years have been very difficult for everyone but if you find yourself in the fortunate position of having a little spare cash please help by donating or simply share this page with your contacts.

Below is a short message from the RNLI fundraising page

Keeping a modern fleet of lifeboats maintained, fuelled and ever ready to go to the rescue from all Yorkshire and the North East lifeboat stations is expensive and we rely entirely on voluntary donations to ensure this service is maintained. Add to that crew training and kit, and the pounds start to add up. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, we havent been able to fundraise as normal to keep our lifeboats afloat.

We rely on donations from you the public to continue saving lives at sea - your donation to this page will help support the running of our 19 stations in Yorkshire and the North East

Amble, Berwick upon Tweed, Blyth, Bridlington, Craster, Cullercoats, Filey, Flamborough, Hartlepool, Humber, Newbiggin, Redcar, Scarborough, Seahouses, Staithes and Runswick, Sunderland, Tynemouth, Whitby and Withernsea
