Salcombe Field of Light by Bruce Munro

In the past 200 years the RNLI has saved over 146,000 lives at sea. That could be as many as 6 million descendants of survivors who are alive today as a result of the volunteer Lifeboat Crews of the RNLI. The Field of Light is an art installation by Bruce Munro of 20,000 lit stems in Salcombe that will celebrate the RNLI’s 200th year. You can dedicate a light and donate to this extraordinary installation to commemorate the Lifeboat volunteers over the last 200 years. You can sponsor one light or multiple lights and add a few words of dedication when you donate. Donate here.
