Most of the RNLI’s income is from legacies: in 1992 about 70
per cent of its funds came from those who left something to the RNLI in their
will. This figure has now declined to 60 per cent and may continue to fall. The
reason for this appears to be the increasing costs of long-term elderly care,
which is depleting retired people’s life-savings at an alarming rate.
