The UK's
RNLI intends to double the size of its lifeguarding service over the next few years, providing every UK region, seasonal lifeguard cover on its beaches.
Being a charity, the RNLI needs help from the public to 'Put Life First' and meet the cost of equipment and training. Individuals and groups are invited to contact the RNLI about fund raising for the 'Put Life First' initiative.
It has just been announced that RNLI lifeguards will provide daily patrols, with the exception of Christmas Day, for Boscombe east beach, the site of the new artificial surf reef. Patrols will begin at 10am and finish at 6pm, or earlier as evenings become darker, and continue through to the start of the next summer season.
