Logistical and Governance Support

We will work with you to support your local work and efforts.

There are a number of incredible organisations and small water safety charities operating around the UK and Ireland.

Many of them have been set up in memory of a lost loved one, to honour their life and in an effort to ensure that other families receive the education needed to decrease the number of drowning fatalities and further heartache.

Setting up a local group, organisation, fund or charity isn’t easy and it often requires good governance to comply with law and legislation.

Fundraising for RLSS UK may be a better option, as that will save the work needed to set up and maintain a charity, but if you would like to explore setting up your own charity you can find guidance below.
