The government reversed their decision and the RNLI will no longer face these unfair radio licensing fee hikes. Your pressure forced them to protect the lifeboats and recognize that public donations must stay with our volunteers. Watch their public statements closely to confirm the policy change is fully implemented.

I am currently compiling our records to deliver to the regulatory board directly. Please email your local member of parliament today to demand they block these proposed fee increases. We cannot allow public donations meant for life-saving rescues to be diverted into government coffers.

We hit a major milestone that proves the public will not let the RNLI be burdened with these unfair costs. Now we need to ramp up the pressure by emailing your local representative to stop this fee increase immediately.

The RNLI survives on donations from the public. Taking that money to fill a government budget gap is just wrong.
Leave them alone. They do enough already.
Absolute joke. Ofcom needs to rethink this immediately. Our rescue crews should be exempt from any fees full stop.
why are we taxing charity. makes no sense
Ridiculous. They risk everything to save lives at sea and this is how they get treated??
Oh goody.£260000 toward our £175,000,000,000,000 debt.
the government should help RNLI with all costs

Charging the RNLI for licences is stretching a fine organisations already strained resources. This can only result in endangering RNLI crew and mariners. Think again Ofcom Please...
