RNLI ( Royal National Lifeboat Institute ) www . rnli . org
The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea , providing a 24-hour emergency lifeboat service in all weathers around the coast of the UK and Ireland . It was started back in 1824 by Sir William Hillary who was devastated by the news of shipwrecks that seemed to be reported every single day , and the destruction he could see from his home on the Isle of Man . Originally called the National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck , his charity was later renamed the Royal National Lifeboat Institution . Since then , the RNLI has saved thousands of lives .
