Raising funds for the RNLI
The Field of Light is now an amazing memory !
Whilst we finally said goodbye to the Field of Light on 5th May 2025, the memory will stay alive for months to come on our dedications page.
The light installation was donated by the artist Bruce Munro to raise funds for the RNLI.
You can make cash or contactless donations at the Lifeboat Station in Union Street, or cash donations at The Kings Arms on Whitestrand in Salcombe.
Thank You.
Why support the RNLI?
The RNLI is the charity that Saves Lives at Sea. Independent of the government, we rely on your kind donations in our mission to save every one.

Glenn was pulled from the sea by RNLI Crew on Father’s Day 2022.
Without our Lifeboat Crew this picture would never have been taken on Father’s Day in 2023.
The Field of Light 200 was situated in Salcombe.
The art installation featured an array of 20,000 lowlight, fibre-optic stemmed lights that illuminated the with a slow, subtle change of hue.
How your support helps the RNLI
The RNLI is 200 years old – please help us to Save Lives at Sea for the next 200 years. You can donate to Salcombe Field of Light to commemorate Lifeboat volunteers over the last 200 years, in memory of a loved one of your own, to support the next generation of RNLI volunteers or you may have your own personal reasons to help the RNLI. All proceeds go to the RNLI.
