Train one, save many
Crew member Mike Buckland pays a visit to a local primary school.
His visit was focused on the Infant and Year 1 classes, stressing the importance of water and coastal safety. The talk, and demonstrations were fun and informative - the children having a good look around the lifeboat.
If you would like a visit, please contact us via the enquiries page.
