RNLI coffee morning

The RNLI Spring Coffee Morning on Saturday 26 April 2025 was a great success. The Emsworth and Havant Branch raised £832.14 on the day. Thank you to the many members of the public for your very generous donations. We are also very grateful for the generous donations from Tesco, to support our fundraising for the RNLI. The support of Emsworth Slipper Sailing Club, who provide us with the use of the lovely facilities are much appreciated.

RNLI 200th Anniversary

Emsworth Textile Artists have created an embroidery to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the RNLI. It measures 138 cm by 74 cm (4'6" by 2'6") and is in the style of the D-Day embroidery at Portsmouth D-Day Museum. Each artist was responsible for a section of the embroidery which was created over a period of 6 months in 2024. The artists are all experienced sailors who belong to local sailing clubs. The embroidery will be offered to the RNLI with the intention that it will gain a wider audience and be used for fundraising and publicising the historical

achievements of the RNLI in saving lives.
