You can answer our call for help by offering your time at the RNLI October Collections on Thursday 2nd October 2025. We will be fundraising in support of our brand new lifeboat station in Wandsworth- a new space that will provide modern facilities for our crew, and a place to welcome the public and will help us save lives for decades to come.
We will be collecting at the following stations:
• London Bridge
• London Victoria
• London Waterloo
• Liverpool Street
• Cannon Street
• Paddington
• Kings Cross
The new Wandsworth Riverside station will put our crews in the best possible place to save lives. Currently, around 70% of shouts are eastwards of the current station location in Chiswick, towards the city. The move will reduce the average emergency response time by 1 minute and 20 seconds- a time could mean the difference between life and death. Every moment counts on the tidal Thames.
The new station will bring our whole crew together in one place, with improved facilities, a new public engagement area, greater opportunities to engage with water safety and educational messages, and provide a platform for the RNLI on the Thames for years to come.
Sign up to our collections today – and join our fundraising crew.
