Loughor Inshore Rescue

The Lifeboat is one of around 70 independent Lifeboats set up around the country, who are not part of the RNLI and receive no funding from them, although they work together on exercises and call-outs. Up to January 1999 alone, the service had responded to 793 call-outs, saved 278 lives, 38 animals and had the unfortunate task of recovering numerous casualties from the water. They have carried on this important work since then increasing these statistics greatly.  This is all done on a voluntary basis. No crew member receives any payment, for either exercise or call outs, each crew member giving their time freely and with no question of personal reward
