How many lives has the RNLI saved in 200 years?

Thanks to people like you, this is the total number of how many lifeboats have launched, incidents RNLI lifeguards have responded to and lives have been saved in the RNLI's 200-year history.
We've always been striving to save every one we can. Whether it's by lifeboat crews launching in the worst weather conditions, lifeguards keeping beaches safe, or water safety teams sharing lifesaving skills.
The last 200 years of lifesaving has only been possible thanks to constants: our selfless volunteers and the kindness of supporters like you.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, lifeboat crews around the UK and Ireland are ready to launch to help those in need. Whether you're stuck on a sinking ship, cut off by a rapidly rising tide, or in the water and close to drowning, RNLI crew members will drop everything to come to your rescue. The vast majority of RNLI lifeboat crews and station staff are volunteers.
But it’s not just lifeboats. RNLI lifeguards patrol 242 beaches, keeping people safe, providing safety advice and rescuing those in trouble. Education volunteers visit schools and swimming clubs to help teach the next generation how to enjoy the water safely. And volunteer fundraisers and shop workers give up their time to generate vital funds. The RNLI is also working to help communities around the world that are most at risk of drowning.
If you spot someone in trouble in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.
