Folkestone Rescue is a volunteer-run lifeboat and lifeguard service protecting lives along the Folkestone coastline. We’re fully independent, receive no regular government funding, and rely entirely on local donations to fuel our boat, restock vital first aid supplies, and keep our team trained and ready to respond.
Every donation makes a difference, Your generosity will help us to save lives and keep people safe on Folkestone’s coast.
