Great to see Steve and the team at @lfb_richmond teaching Year 7 students about water safety at the opening of the new Water Safety Centre for Excellence in Twickenham.
A fantastic resource that will save lives.

Brilliant to see the Big River Flume in action and being put to good use by @lfb_richmond. The new Water Safety Centre of Excellence will help save lives. Inspiring to see the passion and dedication of the team at @lfb_richmond that made this vision a reality.

We're ready for @kendalmountain! Super excited to be in the @PlasyBrenin tipi with our #AugmentedReality sandbox - come and have a go! Play in the sand, create a landscape, make it rain (virtually!) and see how water moves through the catchment #floodrisk #kendalmountainfestival

Brilliant to see our Big River Flume in its new home at @LondonFire and @lfb_richmond! It's being used to promote #water safety #education and raise awareness of risks on the River Thames
#watersafety #floodrisk #STEM #rivers
Looking forward to seeing it in action!

Wondering what this is? It's @lfb_richmond's new Big River Flume demonstration tank which will be based at #Twickenham Fire Station thanks to @JBATrust
It will be used to help us demonstrate the dangers associated with the Thames & continue our water safety education work

Could you make use of a 'big river' model to support education and outreach activities?
We are offering our hydraulic river flume on a long term loan (for free!) Please get in touch (info@jbatrust.org) if you're interested! #watersafety #floodrisk #STEM
