Please watch and share!! Please recognise the dangers of open water and realise it’s so much colder than you think. Let our pain be your reason not to go in the water and risk your life, 5 minutes of fun IS NOT worth your family’s life time of pain💔 We miss you forever Jack
Heading to the coast this summer holiday?
Please choose a lifeguarded beach where possible.
•Check weather & tide times
•Keep your eyes on your children at all times
•Carry a means of calling for help
•Keep inflatables out of the sea
⚠️Please stay out of the water, it really isn't worth the risk of your life. We know it can also be distressing for bystanders to see somebody getting into trouble in open water. The Jack Pullen Foundation has some advice for bystanders that could help save a life⚠️
It is so so important to know what to do if you get into difficulty. We will be doing a lot more work as a school over the next year with @_jpfoundation other schools please get in touch and have these guys in to speak to your students, it could save a life!
Such an insightful session today, I was lucky enough to sit in the session and I learnt so much, I thought I knew all about water safety but there was so much I didn’t know. Please go onto the foundation social media or @RNLI and read their safety tips...
Today we went into Longdendale High School ( Jack’s high school ) to teach Water Safety and tell Jack’s story to Year 9 students as part of their enrichment week. Thank you so much for having us and giving us the opportunity to tell our story @LHS_HighSchool
@LHS_HighSchool @Bloodbikesmcr @GMPTamesideS @MountainResqUK Our pleasure. Thank you so much for inviting us to come and share our story and help us get one step closer to what we’re trying to achieve ❤️
Year 9 had a Public Services day as part of their Enrichment Week today.
Thank you to @Bloodbikesmcr @GMPTamesideS @_jpfoundation@MountainResqUK (Glossop) for investing time & informing our young people on the vital role of your organisations and how to stay safe this summer.
💔 Jack Pullen drowned in July 2016 at age 16, in the River Etherow.
His uncle and sister are helping raise awareness of the dangers of open water to save others from suffering the way they have @_jpfoundation#WaterSafety#DrowningPrevention
There are fears this summer could see a huge spike in accidental drownings as the pandemic pushes more people to holiday in the UK.
Our Senior Reporter @EloiseLinford has been to the River Etherow in Hyde to meet Chris Jordan, whose cousin Jack drowned in 2016:
