By conferring Honorary Rewards in the form of Medals and Votes of Thanks, and also making liberal grants of money to all persons who, at the risk of their own lives, save, or attempt to save those of others on board vessels wrecked, or in distress, upon any part of the Coast of the United Kingdom.

The number of lives saved either by the Life-boats of the Institution, or by special exertions for which it has granted rewards, since its formation, is 39,815. .
