Raising for Pett Level Independent Rescue Boat
PLIRB is growing!
We are blessed to have an amazingly talented, professional and dedicated team and continue to welcome new volunteers.
We are tasked increasingly frequently - day and night. Our growing team of committed, local volunteers ensures we continue to respond to every tasking and ensure we respond extremely quickly.
However, an expanding team and increased demands on our services has pushed our existing boathouse footprint to its limits. To be able to continue to provide an excellent service to our community, we need to future proof our facilities - to accommodate future boat assets and provide a decent and safe environment for our volunteers.
We have secured planning permission to start the development which we hope to complete during 2025.
We now need your help to get us there! You can support our Buy a Brick campaign.
You can choose the amount you wish to contribute. In exchange, you can leave a personal message which will be displayed on our Brick Wall display inside the new boathouse.
NOTES
- If you would like your name to be included on the brick, please ensure you include in your donation details
- Please keep messages to around 10 words
- We ask for a minimum donation of £10. Each donation of £10 and over will receive a commemorative brick.
- Please leave a contact email so we can discuss any details

About us
Pett Level Independent Rescue Boat
Charity number: 286891
We are an independent lifeboat based in Pett Level, East Sussex, serving the community between Camber and Hastings. With a 55-year history, our mission is the preservation of life at sea and on inland waters. We train, operate and launch for service in exactly the same way as the RNLI but, like all independent lifeboats, we are entirely self-funded and self-managed.
We operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and everyone is a volunteer.
We are tasked by UK Coastguard and work in cooperation with local RNLI stations and all other emergency services. We are tasked 30+ times a year, in addition to local calls for first aid and other community services. We often cover for our neighbouring RNLI stations in Rye and Hastings when they do not have the personnel to respond to taskings.
We operate two rescue boats, a 5.4 metre Zodiac MilPro RIB and a 3.4 metre Arancia Surf RIB. These assets allow us to get in close to the cliffs – essential for our area.
Our taskings range from towing casualty vessels, locating and rescuing casualties on the cliffs or cut off by the tide, searching for missing children or vulnerable people and many other types of incidents.
