RNLI
The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. For 200 years, they have saved people in desperate need at sea.
RNLI lifeguards have been patrolling beaches since 2001, helping to keep people visiting the beach safe. They share safety advice, provide first aid to those who need it, and save the lives of those who get in trouble in the water.
Their proactive approach is shown by the number of preventative actions they carry out each year. Last year across the UK and Ireland, they carried out almost 3 million (2,989,928) preventative actions. In addition, they attended 14,213 incidents, helped 19,979 people, and saved 86 lives. During the peak of the summer in the Bournemouth area they patrolled 17 beaches from Friars Cliff to Swanage.
Christchurch and Bournemouth RNLI Fundraisers are very grateful to Bournemouth Fireworks for being chosen as their Event Charity this year, all funds raised will help to fund the training of these local lifeguards. You will be able to meet some of these lifeguards and see the equipment they use at the Fireworks on 2nd November.
