Helping the RNLI save lives at sea
Together, we can help you reach more people, raise more life-saving funds, and keep your crews ready to respond - whenever and wherever they're needed.
We understand your challenges
As the charity that saves lives at sea, the RNLI faces growing demand and rising complexity - from more visitors on UK and Irish coastlines to extreme weather and changing sea conditions. Your volunteer crews are on call 24/7, ready to respond in moments, often in the toughest environments imaginable.
But behind every launch lies an immense operational effort: maintaining lifeboats and stations, funding crew training, supporting lifeguards, and engaging communities nationwide. With costs increasing and public expectations for transparency, speed and safety higher than ever, keeping your mission afloat demands more than courage alone.
That’s where digital can make a difference. A trusted, resilient platform can amplify your message, inspire supporters, and empower every volunteer and team member - helping you raise vital funds, share impact, and stay ready to respond, every time the call comes in.
How we can help
At Giant Digital, we partner with emergency service charities like the RNLI to create digital platforms that perform under pressure. From major fundraising campaigns and urgent updates to year-round volunteer coordination and supporter engagement, we design solutions that keep your mission running smoothly - online and at sea.
Our work brings together accessibility expertise, strategic design and robust technology to help your teams stay connected, responsive and ready to save lives whenever they're needed most.

Why your work matters to us
“Having previously worked as a 'Face 2 Face' fundraiser on the beaches of Cornwall, I learnt about the challenges, triumphs and people that make the RNLI the institution it is today.
I am a keen surfer and sailor, and believe that the services the RNLI provide are vital to keeping all water users safe. I'd be honoured for Giant Digital to support the RNLI deliver on their mission of saving lives at sea.”
