The Rescue Boat Grant Fund has already awarded £4.7 million to 103 charities around the UK.

We have already extended the Fund by making a further £1 million available for 2019-20 and I expect to announce the successful applicants shortly.

A decision on the future of the Fund will be taken in due course.
