Today we take a moment to remember those lost in the 1947 Mumbles lifeboat disaster, in which all eight lifeboat crew members perished alongside the 39 people onboard the stricken steamship Samtampa they had attempted to rescue after she ran aground. The tragedy remains one of the worst in RNLI history and had a big impact on the local community. 72 years on and The Mumbles Lifeboat RNLI crew continue to take to the sea, whatever the weather, when people need help their help. | RNLI

This happened on the Thames this morning. All our Tower lifeboat crew could see was a hand above the water. The man was seconds from drowning. We don’t want anyone to go through this - that’s why, today, we launched our Respect the Water campaign. Remember: if you find yourself unexpectedly in the water, do as little as possible - try to relax and float. Floating for a short time will help you to regain control of your breathing and let the effects of cold water shock pass, before then trying to

When the alarm is raised, we currently use a reliable network of pagers to reach our crews 📟 But it hasn’t always been that way... Every £110 we raise today could buy lifesaving equipment such as a pager for a crew member. ***A correction to some information in the video below: the phone app referred to is now in full use across the lifeboat fleet. It's called RCAMS and it complements the excellent pager system seen in the video*** | RNLI

They showed the kind of voluntary spirit and courage that lives on today - through RNLI Margate lifeboat , RNLI Ramsgate Lifeboat and the many others who help us to save lives.
