  1. Fundraising challenge

  2. The RNLI • The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) save lives at sea. • They provide a 24-hour lifeboat search and rescue service and a seasonal lifeguard service.

  3. The RNLI in 2012 In 2012… • RNLI lifeboats: • Launched 8,321 times – an average of 23 times per day • Rescued 7,912 people – an average of 22 per day. • RNLI Lifeguards: • Responded to 14,519 incidents. • Assisted 16,414 people.

  4. Our values • The RNLI provide a crucial service to everyone that uses the sea, whether fishermen or swimmers. • Their work is based on 4 key values: • Selfless • Dependable • Trustworthy • Courageous

  5. Our equipment • In order to provide the best service possible the RNLI need to provide their crews with the most up to date equipment available. • This can be the fastest and safest lifeboats available or specialist lifesaving equipment.

  6. Ourequipment • For example the new Shannon Class lifeboat will have self righting technology, meaning it can turn itself the right way up should it capsize. • It also has a special Systems and Information Management System which means crew members can operate the equipment from the safety of their seats in treacherous weather. • But the high-tech equipment that the RNLI use every day can be very expensive.

  7. How we are funded • Unlike the other emergency services, the RNLI is not funded by the government. • It relies on voluntary donations and legacies to continue saving lives. • The RNLI requires roughly £160 million per year to maintain their high standards and continue to save lives on the sea.
