Sunderland Volunteer Life Brigade or SVKB for short is a charity. They started with using shore based rocket equipment that would save crew from ships in distress.
The first volunteer life brigade was founded in Tynemouth in 1864. It was created because of the wreck of Stanley at the entrance of the river Tyne.
