ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION (RNLI), UK
The RNLI is a charity that operates a search and rescue lifeboat service in the UK and Eire and on the River Thames and a seasonal lifeguard service on selected beaches. It saves lives at sea through its lifeboat crews, lifeguards and by providing safety advice. There are over 230 lifeboat stations around the UK and Eire and a lifeguard service on over 70 beaches in England and Wales. The RNLI provides essential training to ensure its largely volunteer crews are fully equipped to save lives as safely as possible.
