THE ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION

To save lives, promote safety and rescue service efficiency, and provide relief from disaster at sea and on inland and flood waters; to advance the education of the public in matters relating to sea, inland and flood water safety, and in the history and heritage of the Institution; to relieve/assist those who have been involved in saving lives at sea and on inland and flood waters in any capacity.

This charity has a robust balance sheet
This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

There is a pension deficit of £13,800,000
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
