Audlem RNLI Festival was organised by the Crewe & Nantwich Branch of the RNLI. All money raised will go to the RNLI to support their valuable lifesaving efforts.

The RNLI operates 444 lifeboats from 235 lifeboat stations around the country. Since 1824, the RNLI lifeboat and lifeguard crews have saved more than 139,000 lives, and on average rescue 22 people per day. It costs around £410,000 a day to run the RNLI, all of which is generously donated by the public nationwide.
