💔 Several young people have lost their lives after going for a swim or jumping into open water. To help us raise awareness of the dangers of open water we are working with family members and friends who have lost loved ones to drowning @missmybabyboy @SparkysCrew @_jpfoundation
The weather might not be great today but we are pleased all the same to launch our new water safety campaign to help prevent accidental drownings in Greater Manchester’s waterways 🌊 These incidents do tend to happen more so when it's hot, however, can happen at any time 😢 pic.twitter.com/XobCSQtBx3
At 15:55 yesterday we were contacted by @NWAmbulance who were requesting our assistance near Rivington Pike. A three year old boy was out walking with his family just below the Pike tower when he was struck by a male riding a mountian bike. Continued... facebook.com/58756182794365…
As we enter further easing of restrictions this weekend the @NWAmbulance have enhanced their plans to ensure we can respond to the increase in demand we will face. Please be careful, and remember we are still dealing with COVID-19. #SaveLives

Busy Day with Three Events!
On Saturday, 8th July, a beautiful warm and sunny day, the team had a busy time attending three different community events – Bolton’s Big Day Out at the Bridge Church, Agecroft Fire Station Open Day, and St Elizabeth’s Church Fete, Horwich.
Team members John Ryan & Bob Melia (Support Group) represented the Team at Bridge Church and received donations totalling £10.18 from the public. At St Elizabeth’s Church, Team Leader Alistair Greenough, President Bob Hutchinson, and team members Matt Hailwood, Nigel Booth, Paul Copley, Steve James, and Iain Clarkson (Support Group) raised £53.02. Agecroft Fire Station Open Day was supported by team members Heath Doran, James Shaw, Christine Greaves, John Dickinson and Mike Stevenson.
We would like to thank the organisers for invitations to these three events and also the kind members of the public who showed an interest in our work and dropped donations into our charity buckets.
