On Monday 21 May, Exmouth RNLI Volunteer Crewman David Preece visited Little Otters in East Budleigh to talk to the children about beach safety and the work of the lifeboats. David explained how the children should get help in an emergency on the beach and how to spot lifeguards and lifeboat crew.

The children particularly enjoyed timing how long it took David to get into his lifeboat kit and then were thrilled to be able to try on a junior version.

“We were delighted that the RNLI were able to take time out of their busy schedule to come and visit us.” said Michelle Chudley, Pre-School Leader.  “Beach safety is a really important lesson” she added.

The Little Otters Pre-School would like to thank David Preece and the Exmouth RNLI for the visit, and for all the goodies he brought with him.  It looks like StormForce, the junior section of the RNLI, may have a few new members joining!
