Safe Shared Waters

RNLI and Rowers share a love of and respect for water.

Safety is a priority for rowers both in training and competition. Trained safety cover is an essential and integral part of rowing coaching. All around the country and coast, there are close relationships between Rowing Clubs and their Local RNLI stations.

This campaign is to raise funds to support safe enjoyment of water in the North West around The Wirral, Merseyside and Liverpool.

Rowing takes place at two Dock based locations which require safety cover for training: The West Float in Wallasey on The Wirral

www.lvrc.co.uk and at Liverpool Watersports Centre Mariners Wharf - Queens Dock www.merseyrc.com.

RNLI provide cover for members of the public along the beautiful but often dangerous Wirral and Liverpool coastlines.

We are raising funds to cover two RYA2 training course for a volunteer Rowing coaches to enable more young people to safely explore the water and enjoy all the benefits being part of a rowing community can give.

The RNLI West Kirby branch is fundraising to replace their existing well used but aged inshore lifeboat: Since 1966, it has launched more than 894 times and saved 225 lives.

Any monies raised will be split 50%/50% between RNLI West Kirby Lifeboat Appeal and British Rowing Charitable Foundation also known as Love Rowing.

Thank you.
