RNLI Kessock help Inverness pupils with school project on emergency services

Members of the RNLI crew at Kessock recently visited pupils of Cradlehall Primary School in Inverness to provide assistance in a class project.

Trainee crew member Scott Allan accompanied new helmsman Tom Ben to the Inverness school to speak to P4 pupils about the emergency services’ work.

Both crew members took time out from their own businesses as a tree surgeon and plumber to educate the local children on water safety and the work of the RNLI.

Keen school pupils were eager to learn about the station, boat and area in which the Kessock crew cover.

A demonstration was delivered outlining the kit which crew members wear before children were taught valuable life-saving skills as part of the RNLI Float to Live campaign.

Pupils were also informed of how they can call for help if they spot an emergency on the coast.
