We’ll be there to offer safety advice, talk about our work, and show you around.
The purpose of our event is to educate the public about the dangers of open water and promote water safety awareness. We will be demonstrating the use of throwlines and showcasing some of the equipment used in our search and rescue operations. There will also be several live and dummy rescue demonstrations on the River Thames throughout the day.
