RNLI Lifeboats
Having recently celebrated its 200th anniversary, the RNLI is an internationally recognised charity whose primary function is providing a 24/7 search and rescue service around the coastlines of the UK and Republic of Ireland. Alongside that, they also provide a beach lifeguard service, water safety education and awareness courses and work with other life-saving organisations worldwide to share expertise.
Launching thousands of rescue missions annually, they have saved almost 150,000 lives, since their inception. They have their own fleet of uniquely designed boats, all of which are celebrated on our framed board, and are reliant on volunteers and donations to carry out their vital life-saving work. For that reason, we will be donating 5% of our RNLI Dottie Board profits to the charity, to support them in their mission.
