The Royal National Lifeboat Institution has had ‘significant’ increase in annual donations after it went to the aid of asylum seekers
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is on course for the highest annual fundraising total in its near 200-year history. Donations swelled after the charity attracted huge public support following rightwing attacks for helping save the lives of asylum seekers at risk of drowning in the Channel.
The RNLI said it has received a significant increase in support, with online donations rising by 50% this year.
