Carrant Brook back 'invaluable resource'

Approximately 200 Pupils at Carrant Brook Junior School met crew from their local rescue station in Tewkesbury on 22nd October. SARA crew gave a Water Safety talk in the school assembly and then each class came out in turn to look at MRU 3 & SARA 11. They learnt about the rescue boat and other equipment then asked the crew questions.
SARA 11 is currently the newest boat in the fleet, and was purchased as part of establishing the rescue service in the town. It was funded by donations from the local community.
The school ran a non uniform day for all the pupils and they raised £111.05 for SARA which was presented by the schools Head Teacher, Mr David Forster.
We invited the SARA team into school as we felt that not only were they an invaluable resource to our community of which the children should be aware, but also in order to raise the awareness of the children of the importance of water safety, particularly in the Tewkesbury area with its history of flooding.
The children were thrilled to meet the team and ask questions of them about the water safety equipment and procedures for life saving that were demonstrated. They particularly enjoyed seeing the 4 x 4 and safety boat and also myself wearing the dry suit provided by the team, which created much hilarity!
A big thank you to SARA and keep up the good work.
Mr David Forster, Head Teacher

SARA volunteers strongly believe that teaching local children about water safety is an important aspect of our work and we would like to thank the school, parents and pupils for their support.
