RNLI

We have signed a new three-year partnership with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) to make a major contribution to the lifeboat running costs of seven RNLI stations across the UK.

Our contribution has ensured volunteer crews can continue their lifesaving work at sea. In 2018 our funding helped rescue 259 people and save 12 lives.
