Founded in 1891 the Society has more than 11,000 members in 50 branches and 3,000 active lifesaving and lifeguarding clubs and Approved Training Centres throughout the UK and Ireland.

There are many ways you can become involved as a lifesaver. This can range from learning new skills which you could use to save a life, becoming a member and participating in a wide range of exciting and rewarding activities, getting a recognised qualification or you can make a donation to help us provide lifesaving information and training for young and old alike.

Lifesavers can bridge the gap between an incident being discovered and the emergency services arriving. In effect they can make a crucial difference. Emergencies don’t just happen to other people or while at work – it could be your family or your friends who may need your life saving skills – to save their lives!
