RNLI( Royal National Lifeboat Institute) www. rnli. org
The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea, providing a 24-hour emergency lifeboat service in all weathers around the coast of the UK and Ireland. It was started back in 1824 by Sir William Hillary who was devastated by the news of shipwrecks that seemed to be reported every single day, and the destruction he could see from his home on the Isle of Man. Originally called the National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck, his charity was later renamed the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Since then, the RNLI has saved thousands of lives.
