Celebrating 200 years
The RNLI is 200 years old this year and the anniversary is being marked nationally and by lifeboat crews and stations
around the UK. In Wells, we held a series of events and an exhibition in Wells Maltings in March and we'll be flying the
RNLI 200 flag throughout the year.

Shannon lifeboat
and boathouse build
Wells RNLI is now operating from the new building. See the boathouse build pages for the story of how the new station was built.
Our new Shannon lifeboat was funded in part with a station appeal for £250,000 in 2014-15 and also by the Civil Service charity The Lifeboat Fund with its 150th Anniversary Appeal. We are hugely grateful to everyone who has donated, fund-raised, helped and supported us both locally and across the UK and further afield.
