Choo choo! A very special train rolls into Paddington today to mark our 200th anniversary🚂

We're so excited to kick off our long-term partnership with GWR with these brilliant announcements voiced by Steve Backshall, which will be heard by rail users across the GWR network

Only 20 prints left of Patch Harvey, the Penlee RNLI Coxswain, silhouetted in the doorway of the old boathouse in Mousehole.

It’s in The National Maritime Museum’s collection too, so you’re in good company if you have one on your own wall!

After more than 5 years, I’ve finally been reunited with some extremely precious items exhibited at Poole Museum back in 2019…

…the apron I wore for the first 4 years of the project and two original glass plates: Lucy Lavers and Buckie RNLI Crew.

So good to have them back!

Have you seen the inspirational Women of the RNLI exhibition at Royal Museums Greenwich yet? Featuring photos from The Lifeboat Station Project, it's a must-visit when you're in London 📷

Being part of the Lifeboat Station Project is still one of our favourite memories. The Lifeboat Station Project 's 'Women of the RNLI' exhibition is on at Nat. Maritime Museum until December ⚓️

📷 Since 2015, Jack Lowe, award-winning photographer and creator of The Lifeboat Station Project, has been on a mission to photograph the crew members of all 238 RNLI lifeboat stations.

Did you know that rip currents can move faster than Olympic swimmers at 5.5 mph 😲

Remember: stay calm, signal for help, swim parallel to shore or float. Don't try to swim against it - you'll get tired.

Dive into the world of maritime modelling…

To compliment the recent release of our RNLI Shannon Class Lifeboat kit, we are delighted to reveal our new decal sheet for this model. This single sheet enables you to build one of the fifty currently serving Shannon Class Lifeboats.

'I didn’t know what I was looking for when I went there, but what I found buoyed me up. Women have always been there, but now the women are being seen.'

Thoughtful words about my portraits in the ongoing #WomenOfTheRNLI exhibition:

#RNLI200 Royal Museums Greenwich

This incredible free exhibition by Royal Museums Greenwich tells the stories of the women of the RNLI.

Featuring photography from Jack Lowe, personal testimonies and film, the exhibition offers a window into the lives of volunteers across the UK and Ireland 👉 rnli.social/3IaUKVH

Volunteers are at the heart of the RNLI and make up the vast majority of our people.

They do extraordinary things and without them we couldn’t do what we do best, which is #SavingLivesAtSea 💛

Great to turn on the telly to see two old friends on #SavingLivesAtSea :

Ian from Mudeford Lifeboat and Andrew from #EyemouthRNLI .

Two very different rescues!

Heading to York for a grand day out!

Some amazing shots of our all-weather lifeboat heading out of Fowey Harbour to Mevagissey last Saturday. She'll be open for guided tours this Saturday (weather permitting).
Many thanks to Steve Duncombe for taking them.

Huge applause to everyone involved in this remarkable rescue 💙
