Lanarkshire Training

Motherwell White Watch recently attended Greenhead Moss to engage with locals around secondary fire reduction strategies and water safety awareness.

On #DrowningPreventionWeek we remind you to keep talking to young people about playing near the water. They should never swim in an unsupervised area like lochs, rivers or a pond where there isn’t an adult to help if they get into trouble. More @RLSSUK & ow.ly/w6Rj50FfE2l
