Today is the official naming ceremony of the Wells #RNLI Shannon Class lifeboat, 'Duke of Edinburgh'. The @FundLifeboat raised over £1m for the new lifeboat. The Civil Service charity is the RNLI's longest -standing contributor and its single biggest donor.

As we enjoy the warm weather over the next few weeks, please remember and share @RNLI advice – if you get into trouble in the water, Float To Live.
Tilt your head back with ears submerged 👂
Relax and try to control your breathing 🫁
Move your hands to help you stay afloat ✋

Water supports lives and livelihoods – but it can also take them away. In Bangladesh, 40 children die every day from drowning. We’re working with the Centre for Injury Prevention and Research Bangladesh to help prevent drowning.
