The network provides a space to share experiences, build connections, and encourage the use of Welsh across the organisation, helping to ensure that the RNLI is inclusive and reflective of the communities it serves in Wales. As a group, we also seek to influence and support decision making, processes and communications to strengthen Welsh language provision and cultural awareness within the RNLI.
