The RNLI Flood Rescue team, which responds to flooding emergencies at home and abroad, has teamed up with tyre manufacturer Goodyear – and supporters can benefit too.

The Flood Rescue team is made up of RNLI crew members and staff, specially trained in swift-water rescue techniques, and has been deployed in central and northern England, as well as Guyana in South America.

Goodyear has been working with the RNLI for over a year, already raising £20,000 for the charity through sales of their specialist wet-weather tyres. Now RNLI members can receive a 5% online discount when buying tyres by entering code ‘RNLI09’ at hiqonline.co.uk.

Goodyear Marketing Manager Ben Crawley says: ‘We are absolutely delighted to be directly supporting the Flood Rescue team. We are very keen that this be just the beginning, and hope that people involved with Goodyear at all levels will really get behind the RNLI and make this a massive success.’
