We’re pleased to announce that we will be continuing to support the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) as one of our chosen charities for 2026/2027.

Every 12 months, our Charitable Giving Committee selects charities to support, under our ‘Charitable Giving’ scheme. We then work with the chosen charities throughout the next year to provide support such as making donations, participating in fundraising activities, volunteering and providing equipment.

The RNLI is an organisation close to our hearts – as owners of a fishing fleet (and therefore fully aware of the risks involved working at sea), we hold this incredible charity in high regard and are proud to continue to support them for over the next 12 months.

Crewed entirely by volunteers – some of whom are Greendale colleagues, we’re proud to say – RNLI lifeboats are ready to launch around the UK coastline, 24 hours a day. In addition, the charity provides lifeguards at the coast every summer, trains water safety teams to share advice with people of all ages to help keep them safe and also manages international teams working with communities most at risk from drowning, sharing expertise and advice on how to stay safe.

More about our charities

We selected the RNLI as our sea-based Charity of the Year as it’s an organisation close to our hearts, with a couple of our colleagues involved as voluntary lifeboat crew. As a group, we’re delighted to support the RNLI knowing our colleagues at sea have help close by should they ever need it.
