Many thanks to the Supporter Care & Social Media Advisers at RNLI Poole HQ for allowing me to share this video & it's description......
RNLI volunteers are busier than ever and they are ready to answer the call to save lives 24 hours a day, 365 days a year - including Christmas day.

But they couldn't do it without the amazing supporters who fund the training, kit and equipment that they need to face the toughest conditions and bring people home safely.

An RNLI Christmas was filmed by the RNLI with the volunteers and families of Lyme Regis lifeboat station in Dorset. We thank them all for their support in making this video possible.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, lifeboat crews around the UK and Ireland are ready to launch to help those in need. Whether you're stuck on a sinking ship, cut off by a rapidly rising tide, or in the water and close to drowning, RNLI crew members will drop everything to come to your rescue. 95% of RNLI lifeboat crews and station staff are volunteers.

But it’s not just lifeboats. RNLI lifeguards patrol 248 beaches across the UK and Channel Islands, keeping people safe, providing safety advice and rescuing those in trouble. Education volunteers visit schools and swimming clubs to help teach the next generation how to enjoy the water safely. And volunteer fundraisers and shop workers give up their time to generate vital funds. The RNLI is also working to help communities around the world that are most at risk of drowning.

If you spot someone in trouble in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.
