The facts behind our work in the Channel. In 2024, our crews launched 114 times to Channel crossings – that's just 1.2% of our total launches. Our core purpose is to save lives at sea. Anyone can drown, but no one should.

Ah dear, it looks like you’re believing lots of misinformation! We can’t be fined as we’re tasked by the government (HM Coastguard) to assist those in trouble in the water. Our crews aren't criminals. They are lifesavers.

I’m looking to recruit a Regional Communications Manager to join my team on a temp contract. This is an exciting and rewarding role, supporting over 50 communications volunteers around the coast of Scotland in promoting the lifesaving work of the RNLI. jobs.rnli.org/vacancy/region…
