It's hot out there! Please share our lifesaving advice to help us keep people safe 📢

With many enjoying the sun, we are asking you to remember one thing if you're by the water:

- Tilt your head back with your ears submerged

- Relax and try to breathe normally

- Move your hands and legs to help you stay afloat

- It’s OK if your legs sink, we all float differently

- Once your breathing is under control, call for help or swim to safety.

Enjoy and stay safe

Thank you to everyone who has dropped their Re-turn bottles into our bins. To date just over €800 has been collected. This money goes to training and kitting out are crew who in turn help save lives at sea.

Just a little reminder to those who pop in their glass bottles, coffee cups etc - these bins are for Re -turn plastic bottles only. Our volunteers have to sort through these bins , thank you.
