@DailyMirror launches #SaveLivesForSam campaign 'for urgent action and to push the government to deliver a national #watersafety awareness campaign: mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/sa… “Unless the government acts now, more people could die this summer. The school holidays are weeks away, temperatures will rise again, and children will head to open water.” @LeePitcherMP “We lose one person a day, on average, from drowning during May, June, July and August. Around 43% of them are under the age of 40, and quite a lot of them are young teenagers or men, particularly 20 to 29. It means that each year in the UK we lose about 8,000 years of life because people are dying prematurely" @ProfMikeTipton
