Help us fund The Royal National Lifeboat Institute

Advanced Factors is supporting the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institute)

Through 238 stations around the UK crewed by volunteers and over 1300 lifeguards patrolling beaches during the Summer the RNLI have saved over 140,000 lives since 1824.

The RNLI is not funded by any government, it is a charity and needs around £177m a year to operate, we are just a small business but with your help we can add a small amount to the needs of this irreplaceable life saving service.

Watch this space for special offers and help donate to this great cause.

This week we ask you to please donate £10 or more to our Just Giving page before placing an order and we will then add to your order at our expense a pair of exact fit wiper blades (or a suitable alternative if not available). Then add "RNLI" and your car make, model & year for the wiper blades (We can supply any car make or model) to your order notes when checking out on our website to let us know.

Thank you.

I live near the sea in Dorset and have relatives who worked in RNLI and I wholeheartedly support their activities. However when my son bought a Mitsubishi L200 from the Poole dealership they mentioned that they now supply the whole of the RNLI with L200 pickups. Similarly, the Coastguard uses Toyota Hilux and every time I see these vehicles (often doing rescues with crowds of holidaymakers watching) I think how come LandRover didn't get these highly visible contracts? Perhaps LandRover are not interested, or don't have anything suitable these days. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Got an over 10000 name petition over the threat to remove our All Weather Lifeboat and replace it with a RIB over here in New Quay West Wales and yesterday a local caravan park called Pencnwc yesterday offered to supply all fuel FOC if the RNLI left our All Weather boat here.
Taking it away would leave a 70mile gap on our coast. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Great cause, well done Advanced factors team. I have supported RNLI since first became a boat owner in 1972.
Land Rover are heavily into high profile sports marketing but alas no longer make vehicles suitable for the emergency services to use. The recent provision of a D5 to a Mountain Rescue team is an almost laughable exception.
Utility companies, charities, emergency services etc do not fit the profile of the optimum cash cow premium brand customer that the marketing twits at JLR fanticise about appealing to.
