Crew Training Fund


The Angus Crew Training Fund

'Joining a lifeboat crew is a real commitment, our volunteers have to be on call 24/7. At the same time it is an excellent way of giving something back to the community. What could be more rewarding than saving a life?'

Peter Muxworthy, RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager

'Prospective crew don't need any professional qualifications or experience. Less than 10% of lifeboat crew come from maritime backgrounds, so the RNLI provides the very best training to ensure they are well equipped to deal with a variety of situations.'

The RNLI has a national crew training campaign ‘Train one, save many’, which aims to raise £10M over a five year period to fund the training of its lifeboat crews.

RNLI crews at 233 lifeboat stations around the coast of the UK and the Republic of Ireland train on average twice a week. This training is also supported by mobile training units, distance learning and, for vital core training courses, crew members attend The Lifeboat College in Poole.

The RNLI’s annual running costs are around £119M – approximately £327,000 per day – and, as a registered charity, the organisation continues to rely on voluntary contributions and legacies for income. The majority of RNLI crews are volunteers whose everyday jobs include doctors, teachers, housewives, hairdressers, and, of course, fishermen.

Training, which turns RNLI volunteers into lifesavers costs the RNLI £1,000 per year, per crew member.

20% of proceeds from sales of the Inchape print editions will be put into the Angus Crew Training Fund, helping to support the training of our local Arbroath and Montrose lifeboat crew members.
