Today marks the start of Drowning Prevention Week, a national campaign dedicated to raising awareness of water safety and helping prevent accidental drownings.

Running from 13th-20th June, the campaign encourages everyone to learn simple, potentially life-saving advice before the summer holidays begin.

As an outdoor activity centre based on the water, we know how important it is to respect the risks while enjoying all the opportunities that being on and around water can offer.

One of the key messages from the Water Safety Code is:

💧 Stop and Think
💧 Stay Together
💧 Call 999
💧 Float

Whether you're paddling, sailing, swimming, or simply spending time near the water this summer, taking a few moments to think about safety could make all the difference.

Let's help ensure everyone can enjoy the water safely this summer.

June is Great Outdoors Month, a chance to celebrate the benefits of spending time outside and reconnecting with nature.

Whether it's climbing higher than you thought possible, paddling across open water, working together as a team, or simply taking a break from screens and daily routines, the outdoors offers opportunities to learn, grow and build confidence.

At the Anderton Centre, we see every day how outdoor experiences help children, young people and adults develop new skills, strengthen relationships and discover what they're capable of.

How will you make the most of the great outdoors this month?
