Beach to city

Beach to city is a programme based in inner city areas aimed at educating children who live away from the coast.  RNLI lifeguards visit these areas educating children on the dangers of the seaside and how to stay out of trouble.  This scheme is aimed at primary school children.

Through close analysis of incident statistics, children living away from the coast in city areas have been highlighted as a high-risk group who are also less likely to be aware of the work of the RNLI.

It is for this reason that targeting non-coastal areas has become a priority for beach safety and education.
