Information on waterways

Published: Tuesday, 19 January 2010
THE Severn Area Rescue Association (SARA) has created information packs for schools about the hazards of inland waterways.

The packs will be provided by Severn Area Rescue Association (SARA) at their awareness and fund raising day on Friday, 26th February.

These will be given out at its 'Go Orange—for independent lifeboats' day that is arranged to raise awareness of independent lifeboat stations around the country that operate on the rivers.

Schools, colleges, scouts and guides groups, as well as workplaces and members of the public, are invited to take part, which entails running their own  'dress down day', dressing up in orange or organise an orange cake competition or any orange themed event.

In return, SARA will provide a water awareness information pack and  if required give a personal talk by a crew member to schools or workplaces.
