Selling Our Secrets, Silly Odd Socks, Soup Or Sandwiches … once again, lifeboat crews, lifeguards and supporters got into the spirit of SOS Day on 29 January.

Celebrity supporters included stars of Emmerdale, the Llanelli Scarlets Rugby Team and Olympic Rower Greg Searle.

To drum up support for our biggest fundraising day, the RNLI sent out a message in a giant bottle. The bottle washed up all over the UK and RoI in the weeks leading up to the day, attracting lots of attention from passers by and the media.

With your help, the RNLI is on target to reach £500,000. Thank you for making it a really fun day – we hope to make it even bigger and better next year!
