North Reading Safer Neighbourhood Forum

NRSNF Mon 19th - 7pm at the Weller Centre - all welcome.

Meeting is open to all residents and business or user groups in North Reading. Police and a Reading Borough Council representative will attend. Thank you.

For #WorldDrowningPreventionDay, we asked fitness content creator Jacob Ward to jump into our sea survival pool and find his float 💪 Do you know how you float? Practising this skill could save your life one day. #RNLI #FindYourFloat #RespectTheWater #FloatToLive

Knowing how to float can save your life. On #WorldDrowningPreventionDay, we encourage you to Find Your Float! Swimming pools and swim schools are teaching floating techniques in their swimming lessons. Contact your local pool today! #RLSSUK #SwimEngland

@EnvAgency Winner of CADRA colouring competition.

16% of child accidental drownings on inland waters are from jumping and diving in. Make sure your child knows what to do if they get into trouble in water during the hot weather this weekend. Remind them to follow safety signage and #FloatToLive if they get into difficulty.

@ReadingCouncil Did you see the CADRA colouring competition post on our page? It is a @RBFRSofficial colouring page about what to do if you do get into trouble.

☀️ It's officially a heatwave! 🚫 Rivers and lakes are not good places to jump in or swim. 🥶 Cold water can take your breath away and you could drown. 🦺 Wear life jackets when boating or paddle boarding.

@janeclubuk @RBFRSofficial We don’t know, but we have sent all the entries to @RBFRSofficial , so maybe they will tell us.

@NorthReadingSNF @RBFRSofficial Awesome. We like the two with the coloured shoes, but they were all great. Which one is @RBFRSofficial favourite?

We were at the Caversham Court Fete and saw some amazing colouring entries to the CADRA Residents’ Association colouring competition. Thank you to @RBFRSofficial for providing us with the design for the competition. Here are a few of the entries. ❤️

@janeclubuk @RBFRSofficial The winner was decided by one of CADRA’s younger helpers and she chose the first picture. All of these entries were great and they all could have won. There were other really great entries, but we can only put four on X.

@NorthReadingSNF @RBFRSofficial They are awesome which one won.

This is a great video please watch. It is two minutes……two minutes that could save a life. If you would like to know more, or practice using a throw line, then please reach out to us or the RBFRS.

Would you know how to help someone in trouble in the water? Our firefighters from Caversham Road have issued this short video showing you how to use a throw line, safely and effectively. Please share - knowing what to do could make all the difference.

Abbey & Thames ward Cllrs worked together to enable funding for 8 throw lines along the Kennet & Thames.Reading’s Water Safety Partnership ensures that we are driving forward awareness & ensuring our beautiful waterways rsafe for all. @EnvAgency @TVP_BerksWest @Adele_Thames
