RNLI Queensferry Shop

We're in a jam or maybe a bit 'potty'. Can you help us?

Every year we receive donations from people who hand in our "Betty's Pots" full of 5p's. It is a great way to help 'Save Lives at Sea' but we are running out of pots.

So if you are on holiday and get your breakfast marmalade in a little pot (as shown in the photo) or even a cafe/restaurant owner that uses these pots, we would be very grateful if you could hand your empties in to the shop - we're happy to wash and rinse them.

Together we can make a big difference with little pots.

Thank you in anticipation.

'With courage, nothing is impossible.' 💙

Sunday 4 January marked the 255th Birthday of our founder, Sir William Hillary.

William Hillary, born in 1771, witnessed many shipwrecks off the Isle of Man and the devastating impact they had on local communities.

His vision imagined a day when people's generosity would help equip and protect volunteers to save lives at sea.

Today, as we look ahead to the 25th anniversary of our beach lifeguard service, we continue to embody his lifesaving vision.
