The RNLI has been named the Royal Cornwall Show Charity of the Year

Today, the charity is saving more lives, in more ways, in more places than ever before. It provides 238 lifeboat stations and has seasonal lifeguards on more than 240 lifeguarded beaches across the UK and Ireland. An RNLI spokesman said: “Everything the charity has achieved has only been possible thanks to ordinary people doing extraordinary things, from our volunteers who give so selflessly of their time to the incredible generosity of our supporters who fund the rescue work. “
