Borth Lifeboat Station
There has been an RNLI lifeboat station at Borth since 1966; read the History of Borth lifeboat station and Station Honours. You can visit Borth lifeboat station when we are open for training on Sundays between 10-00 and 12-00.
Your support is vital in training and equipping our volunteer lifesaving crews. If you want to support us, either by becoming a crew member, a support officer, working in the Shop, or by making a donation locally please contact us.
Volunteering at Borth Lifeboat Station
If you are aged 17 you can join the crew (with parental consent). If you are not yet 17 why not get in touch and we can explain what is required and ensure that you are ready to take up this interesting challenge when you are.
Being part of a volunteer lifeboat crew is a major commitment, where Borth RNLI volunteer crew members may have to risk their lives to save people in peril. The commitment isn't only measured in the time spent involved in rescues, new equipment and boats mean that regular training programmes also account for much of their spare time.
To become an RNLI Volunteer Crew Member, simply email volunteer@borthlifeboat.org.uk or come to the lifeboat station between 10am and 12 noon on any Sunday and ask to see Ronnie.
Volunteers are also required to help fundraising and organise events to support the work of our volunteer lifeboat crews. If you are able to help please email margaret@borthlifeboat.org.uk.
Borth RNLI Shop - Lifesaving Shopping
The RNLI Shop is run by volunteers and thus does not have set opening times but it is open most days during the summer months. If the shop is not open when you visit, there is a notice in the window next to the shop telling when it will be open next.
If you have a short time available and require some articles from the shop just ring Brenda on 07855 523433 and she will come down to open the shop for you.
The shop carries a range of gift ideas, toys, clothing, products for the home, garden and much more.
As the shop is manned by volunteers 100% of profit goes directly towards our vital life saving work.
Shopping with Amazon couldn't be easier. Whilst shopping you can support the RNLI at the same time. For every purchase Amazon will donate a minimum of 5% of the value of all orders to the RNLI.
RNLI Lifeguards
The RNLI provides Lifeguards in Borth for the summer season. The Lifeguards patrol two areas of the beach making a significant difference to the safety of users of Borth beach.
Photos
If you send us any videos or photographs which you have of the Borth ILB we will post them in our videos and photo gallery. It would be nice if you could provide a story and dates to go with any that you send.
Weather and Tides
To make the job of our volunteer crews easier and to help Borth water users we have linked in a page of Tide Tables and Weather Forecasts. Please check these before you launch, but always be aware of the conditions as you see them as forecasts can be wrong.

The desktop pager launches and beeps when we have been notified of a launch. Read about and download the desktop pager.
Or receive SMS launch alerts to your mobile phone phone when an RNLI lifeboat has launched.
