Due to the coronavirus, we have taken the decision to close all RNLI shops, museums and visitor centres, including the College in Poole, with immediate effect. Our lifeboat stations remain operational and we will continue to respond to those in need but will not be open to visitors. Our lifeboats will continue to launch to those in peril at sea – and they need your support more than ever. We hope to re-open soon but in the meantime, we would appreciate your continued support by visiting our online shop.
