Attending over more than 2,000 incidents and saving more than 100 lives.

An Emergency Service, run by volunteers

Manned by unpaid volunteers, ready to respond to incidents 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Funded by public donations

GAFIRS is a charity that remains afloat thanks to generous public donations and legacies.

Like many lifeboat services around the UK, we are independent of the RNLI and receive no funding from them.
