It is fitting that we recognise and thank those who are supporting RLSS UK by leaving a gift in their Will, or have indicated their intention to do so in the future, in response, we are delighted to announce that this generosity will be rewarded with an invitation to become a newly created.

1891 Life Fellow members will include:    

• Members are invited to special RLSS UK events throughout the year they pledge, including a dinner where the CEO Robert Gofton and President Mark Smith will talk about current activities and future plans for the society.
• An embroidered, limited edition tie or cravat.
• VIP Tickets for the National Presentation of Honours every year following their pledge (Venue for the 2022 ceremony TBC).
• Their name on the thank you plaque, at RLSS UK Head Office reception.

"Water has played a big role in my life and that is why I have chosen to leave a gift to RLSS UK in my Will – so that future generations can also enjoy water safely. It’s an added bonus that I have become one of the first 1891 Life Fellows. I’m delighted – it genuinely has made my day!" Keith Bowden - 1891 Life Fellow

So that we can invite you to join the 1891 Society, we will send you a Pledge Form, letting us know, in complete confidence, about your legacy and your wishes. Indicating your support on this form is encouraging to RLSS UK but it has no legal consequences. It does not limit your freedom to alter your will in the future and is simply a statement of your present intentions.

"Having been involved in Lifesaving for over 20 years, I have chosen to leave a gift to RLSS UK in my Will to help future generations to enjoy water safely. I feel like I am now in a financially stable position to help others in the future." Antony Coia - Secretary Open Water Rescue
