DO YOUR BIT FUND OUR KIT

This May will see the return of Mayday, our big yellow welly-themed fundraising event

An annual celebration of brave lifesavers around our coasts, Mayday brings together supporters across the UK and Ireland to raise money for crew kit. To Adam Whyte, Crew Member at Troon Lifeboat Station, it means a lot: ’I trust the kit I wear with my life. I know I can rely on it should the worst happen.’
Last year, yellow-wellied cycle teams, pipe bands and dance troupes spread the Mayday message far and wide, raising an astounding £607,316 to ensure our volunteers have the kit they need to battle the elements, save lives, and return home safely. This year our fundraisers have an ambitious £750,000 target. And we hope you can get your yellow on to help them reach it. Whether with a yellow yarn bombing on the high street, a lemon tart bake-off with friends, or a yellow-themed dressdown day in the office or at school, the rallying cry is to paint the town yellow! We’ll be telling you more about the campaign as it draws closer but for now, get your (yellow) thinking cap on and head over to RNLI.org/mayday to register your interest.
