The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) was founded in 1824 and over the last 200 years it’s helped save 144,000 lives at sea. This exhibition shines a light on the role the institution's female volunteers have played in rescuing people from perilous situations on the waves. Forty-two photographs by Jack Lowe will be on display, all portraits of women who volunteer for the RNLI alongside their lifeboat station’s slipway. There’ll also be oral histories to listen to and visitors will get a deep dive into the role women have played in fundraising and volunteering for the organisation over its long history.
