Yesterday was our Annual Christmas Party for the children of our volunteer crew, shop team and fundraisers.

The children enjoyed a visit from Santa, face painting and games!

All at RNLI Dungeness would like to thank you all for your support, donations and kindness in 2025.

Keep an eye on our page for events throughout 2026, our station’s 200th celebration year! 🌲🎅🎁🎉

The naughty elves are supposed to be preparing for our Annual Christmas party for the children of our volunteer crew, but they seem to have other ideas!!! 🎅🎄🎁🎈

On average RNLI lifeboats launch over 100 times every year over the festive period (24 December - 1 January).

Our volunteer crews are ready to leave their family plans this Christmas and answer the call for help even on Christmas Day.

Thank you very much to Firmager Funeral Service who visited us today with a gift of chocolate for our volunteer crew! (You must have heard it’s our favourite 😁)

Thank you so much for your support, we have a great local community 👏👏

On the 6th day of Christmas we visited the lovely people at RNLI Dungeness, on call every day of the year, saving lives at sea. Thankyou to all, enjoy your chocolate bars!
