..THOSE IN PERIL ON THE SEA

Nine years after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 one visionary man, Sir
William Hillary, founded a charity dedicated to 'the Preservation of Life
from Shipwreck'. From that small seed grew the Royal National Lifeboat
Institution - the RNLI - which today operates over 400 high-powered t
craft from more than 230 Lifeboat stations.

Hilary Fletcher, RNLI Volunteer, Guildford

Hilary volunteers for the RNLL. She helps
raise funds in her local area in memory of her

husband. Whenever he went out to sea, Hilary
was comforted to know that if he got into
trouble, someone was there. The funds she raises
make sure our crews can keep being there.
