Grant for £499

Hayle Surf Lifesaving Club has received a grant of £499.00 from
Councillors John Pollard and John Coombe, through the Councillor
Community Grant Scheme.This grant has been used to purchase two VHF radios, which are used to
communicate between the clubs Inshore Rescue Boat and their lifesaving
headquarters and the RNLI lifeguards. As well as this, two pool
rescue manikins were purchased which are used by all of the
club members in their training, these manikins are filled with water to
simulate a real body, which is then towed through the water to simulate
a real rescue. The manikins can be filled with different levels of
water depending on the ability of the rescuer, therefore ideal training
for Nippers right up to the masters.Councillor John Coombe commented “it’s great to see so many young
people from Hayle and surrounding areas, learning life saving skills
and staying fit, especially using our beautiful beach as a base. The
age range of those involved in the surf life saving make it a truly
family friendly club.”These grants really help the club to purchase expensive equipment that
all can use and at the same time keep the cost of joining, attending
training and competitions down to a minimum so that all people
regardless of their financial situation can enjoy being members of
