SSE support

We are now entering the third and final year of the RNLI’s partnership with Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE).

SSE is committed to supporting the communities in which it operates. When work began on the Greater Gabbard wind farm off the coast of East Anglia, the company donated £300,000 to cover crew training costs for 3 years at Lowestoft, Southwold, Aldeburgh and Harwich Lifeboat Stations.

Since then, SSE’s staff have been raising funds, helping us save energy and collaborating with us on training exercises off the coast of Lowestoft.

SSE Director of Corporate Relations Julian Reeves says: ‘We’re really pleased to support training – the key to helping crews bring rescuees and themselves home safely.’
