It cost £191m in 2023 to run our lifesaving service. This might sound like a lot but we think the 29 people our lifeboat crews help on average every day are worth it. With your support, £1,600 will provide a crew member with layered clothing and boots. £590 will pay for a life jacket. The average training per crew member is £1,450. Your support really can make a huge difference to our volunteer crew who are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to keep visitors to our coastline safe.
