As part of our NCS challenge we are trying to create awareness of water safety around local canals within the north west area. Our aim is to try and educate people and for them to become more aware of the dangers of water, in particular canals. In the event of an accident that may occur, resulting in someone falling into a canal we want to provide accessible bouncy aides along canals in the north west area so that the is a chance of a life being saved.
"There were 260 deaths in England, 56 in Scotland, 41 in Wales and 11 in Northern Ireland. In England, the South West (53) and the South East (50) regions had the highest number of deaths."As we have learned about the consequences we are hoping by raising money to prevent people from dying in canals.
