Green Rebel is delighted to support a cause very close to our hearts, in more ways than one. As part of our commitment to maritime safety, Green Rebel pledges €15,000 in support of the RNLI in Ireland, funding which support the running and maintenance of lifeboat stations in Arklow, Ballycotton, Crosshaven, Dún Laoighaire, Howth and Galway – areas where our teams have been operating in recent years.
Speaking at the announcement in Crosshaven, Green Rebel CEO Kieran Ivers spoke about how things can go wrong at sea quickly and without warning, and how organisations like the RNLI are essential for safety at sea.
“Supporting the RNLI is a way for us to ‘pay it forward’ and support the coastal communities and areas in which we operate.”
Last year, lifeboat crews from the six stations receiving funding from Green Rebel launched their lifeboats 193 times, bringing 262 people to safety.

Green Rebel’s Fleet Manager, Alan Cott who is based in Crosshaven and from Ballycotton, is a member of the RNLI and sadly has a personal story attached to his involvement.
“I am delighted that Green Rebel are supporting a charity so close to my heart as I know first hand that those funds will be helping the RNLI to save lives at sea.”
We are delighted to financially support Alan and his fellow volunteers in the RNLI, and would like to remind everyone that the RNLI is a charity and is dependant on support from the public and corporates, so we encourage you to support in any way you can.
