Street, Store & Event Collections How much can you collect with a winning smile, a bucket or collection boat box, in just a 2-hour stint? You'd be amazed-Well over £100 is not uncommon! The RNLI conducts street collections in towns and cities, and at the entrances to well-known shop chains, railway stations and large public events. RNLI Running Event Marshalling & Support At RNLI-organised running events we always need many hands on deck to ensure the participants take the right route, to cheer them on, hand out water and refreshments at the finish line, make the tea, staff the cloakroom. You name it! RNLI Summer Sprints and Reindeer Runs in the late Autumn are staged across the UK and Republic of Ireland - there could be one near you!	You don’t have to get wet to save lives at sea! Volunteer your time and join an amazing team of people who respond to our call of help when we need it the most. ‘Deck Hands’ are RNLI volunteers who want to get involved in volunteering for our lifesaving charity but can’t always offer a regular commitment. We appreciate our supporters’ lead busy lives, and may want to help when it’s most convenient to them. Unlike our volunteer crews who receive their call of action by pager, you’ll be alerted to our request for help by email or mobile phone. We’ll let you know of volunteering opportunities local to you, where we really need the extra support. Our ‘alerts’ may have an immediate need (i.e. help at an event this coming weekend) or at a stated time in the near future. We promise not to contact you more than once an month. In return, you’ll have the opportunity to get involved in our rewarding lifesaving work, meet a whole bunch of new people and learn some skills along the way. So if you can spare an hour or more, we'd love to hear from you. Register for Deck Hands. Thank you Deckhands get involved As a registered deckhand, the ways in which you can support are endless. Here’s a selection of opportunities where we may need ‘all hands on deck'. If you would like to be one of our deckhands please sign up now!	Helping Hands at Other Events At exhibitions, RNLI lifeboat station open days, nautical events, black tie events, we always need helping hands in roles. Such as : setting up tents and marquees, staffing stalls, taking entrance fees, selling programmes, answering queries, giving directions, serving refreshments and face painters to name but a few! It might be a day-long event or an evening or a part of one - it's up to you and can make a real difference to the smooth running of the event. Pre-Event Marketing Can you help promote an event and drum up support and commitment to these activities at local networking groups, social events or through poster distribution? Photographers/Camera Operators Good with a lens? The images you capture of our events could be of great value to the RNLI for publicity and future event materials and marketing. Full credit would be given for any images used in this way.
If you have other skills you want to shout about, let one of our team know at the event you’re helping at and we’ll see if there are further opportunities for you to get involved in our lifesaving work.
