Last summer was one of our busiest ever. Our lifeguards kept hundreds of thousands of people safe on the beach. Now they need your help to get ready for next year.

How it works

1. Choose one of the virtual gifts from the options below. Whichever you choose will help RNLI lifesavers to save lives at sea.
2. Buy the gift for yourself or as a gift for someone else.
3. You'll receive your card in the post at no extra cost, this item includes free delivery. You can keep this or send it on as a gift for someone else.
4. At the same time, the RNLI will use the gift you’ve bought to help our lifesaving work.

About your gift:

This Lifesaving Gift could help fund our 24-hour lifeboat search and rescue service. This includes the cost of providing essential kit, training and support for our volunteer lifeboat crews across the UK and Ireland. It also includes the cost of running and maintaining the lifeboat stations, lifeboats and launching equipment they need to save lives at sea.

A pager is an essential part of their kit. It alerts our lifeboat volunteers to emergencies at sea. Wherever they are, whatever they’re doing, lifeboat and shore crew drop everything to
get to the station and launch the lifeboat as quickly as possible.

Thanks for being a lifesaver too.

Thanks to your support, countless people who find themselves in trouble in the water will be kept safe. That makes you a lifesaver too. Thank you for being part of our lifesaving mission.

Important Notice for Our Customers in Ireland:

We've had to make the decision to pause sales to Ireland for now. Recent customs charges beyond our control, impacting virtual gift deliveries to Ireland, currently means customers are facing large unexpected costs to receive their gift.

We’re committed to reviewing the situation and hope to restore service as soon as we can. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. In the meantime of course, you can still make a donation via our shop donate page.
