Help them continue the tradition - please remember the RNLI in your will.

In 1824, the appalling loss of life at sea prompted Sir William Hillary to launch a public appeal for a voluntary lifeboat service. Today the seas are as dangerous as ever - and our volunteer lifeboat crews still rely entirely on public donations to carry out their life-saving mission.

Our new booklet, Preserving All You Value, explains how six out of every ten lifeboat launches are made possible by legacy gifts from our supporters. It also shows how you can help keep that vital tradition afloat - by remembering the RNLI in your will.

At Mariner, we prefer to deal in proof, not promises. That's why you may be interested to know that after a stringent, lengthy and punishing programme of engine evaluation, the RNLI have chosen Mariner power.

Two out of three pets require veterinary-treatment each year and fortunately, veterinary science can perform miracles to improve the health of pets. But as technology rapidly advances, so does the cost.

Even non-urgent treatment can amount to hundreds of pounds and if your pet is ill, the last thing you want to worry about is the bill.

Whether you have a dog or cat, a cross-breed or a show champion, Petplan can cover the cost of vet treatment, third party liability and more.

Petplan is the UK's leading pet insurance specialist and we pay out more than £1/4 million in claims every week.

Insuring your pet could cost just a few pounds each month and as a RNLI supporter you'll be entitled to your first months' insurance absolutely free. Plus, a contribution of 5% will be made to RNLI funds.

Call the freephone number and Petplan will provide you with full details and the discounted cost of cover for your pet.
