Watch the dramatic moment Moelfre RNLI rescue Thomas who was clinging onto an inflatable dinghy. Moelfre's D class lifeboat was launched quickly to someone being blown out to sea, drifting half a mile offshore. Thomas did the right thing by keeping hold of the dinghy and using it to stay afloat. Inflatables can be great fun when they’re used safely. But every summer, they’re one of the most common reasons our lifeboat crews and lifeguards are called to action.

Located in the stunning setting on Merseyside, Crosby beach is unique in that it is the only beach which RNLI lifeguards patrol every day of the year. Helping our dedicated lifeguards carry out their role is the Ford Ranger. The Ranger helps our team cover the three mile stretch no matter what the conditions, meaning more lives can be saved. If you see someone in difficulty in the water, phone 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard. #BeachSafety #RNLI #Ford #Ranger #Lifeguards Ford UK #SavingLive

Over the last few years, we have found ourselves in a situation which we never could have imagined. Complex global issues have led to high levels of migration, with a small proportion of these people attempting the incredibly dangerous journey across the English Channel. We are operating in a situation that is not of our making and is beyond our control, yet we remain focused on our core purpose: to save lives at sea, thanks to our amazing supporters.

Our lifeboats have had many looks over the years. One original, the Zetland, saved hundreds of lives from its station in Redcar. It was built in 1802 and is the oldest lifeboat still in existence. Fast forward to today and we have the Shannon class, the newest of our lifeboat. Introduced in 2013, it is the first modern all-weather lifeboat to be propelled by water jets, making the Shannon the most agile all-weather lifeboat in the fleet. | RNLI

Some appreciation for the inshore rescue hovercraft please 👏 Icy conditions, poor visibility and an incoming tide made for a tricky first launch of the year for RNLI Hoylake Lifeboat Station last week. Rescue hovercrafts typically operate on large areas of tidal mudflats or sand where the surface is too soft to support land vehicles and where the water is too shallow for boats. Thanks to the lift created by the hovercraft fans, it can fly over mud, sand and shallow water, allowing our crews to
