Beverley Rosser Smith, RNLI area fund-raising manager, said: "The awards ceremony gave the RNLI an opportunity to say thank you to volunteers across South Wales, who work tirelessly to ensure the RNLI can continue saving lives at sea.
"If it wasn't for our dedicated fund-raising volunteers, RNLI crews would not be able to continue rescuing 22 people every single day. The awards were thoroughly deserved and enabled us to show all the volunteers how much their hard work is appreciated."
